Causes of high rheumatism factor

The causes of high rheumatic factors include genetic factors, age factors, autoimmune diseases, infectious factors and other diseases. 1. Genetic factors may play a role in the occurrence of elevated rheumatic factors. Some people may be more prone to immune system abnormalities due to genetic background, resulting in elevated levels of rheumatic factors. 2. Age factors With age, the immune system of the body may undergo some changes, and may also lead to a certain degree of increase in rheumatic factors, but this increase is usually mild and not necessarily accompanied by clinical symptoms. 3. Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, which is the most common cause of elevated rheumatic factors. When the body's immune system is abnormal, it produces antibodies against its own tissues, including rheumatic factors, which can combine with self-antigens to trigger a series of immune reactions, resulting in arthritis and other performance.4. Infectious factors Some infections, such as bacterial, viral and other infections, may induce abnormal immune responses in the body, leading to elevated rheumatic factors. Infection may directly or indirectly affect the balance of the immune system, and promote the production and release of rheumatic factors. 5. Other diseases In addition to rheumatoid arthritis, some other diseases such as Sjogren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune diseases may also be accompanied by elevated rheumatic factors. In addition, some chronic diseases such as chronic hepatitis, tuberculosis, etc., may also appear under certain circumstances. It should be noted that high rheumatism factor does not necessarily mean a specific disease, but only suggests that there may be immune abnormalities or disease risk. For the case of high rheumatism factor, comprehensive judgment and analysis should be carried out in combination with clinical symptoms, signs and other related examinations to clarify the specific causes and take corresponding treatment measures.
