Diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis is done based on symptoms, examination findings and lab reports evaluated together.
Lab reports alone have no meaning.

Rheumatoid factor first of all is increased in not only in rheumatoid arthritis but also in more diseases.
Rheumatoid factor positive means seropositive arthritis. Anti ccp is very specific for rheumatoid arthritis.
Those with seropositive RA have similar symptoms to seronegative RA, but they are generally more severe and cause greater deformities.

Kindly reach out clinic for clarification regarding this issue
