In this episode, host Shelley Fritz sits down with Dr. Ted Mikuls, a leading rheumatologist at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and VA Nebraska-Western Iowa Health Care System, to explore the role of RF in RA diagnosis and how it can relate to disease severity. The episode emphasizes patient empowerment through understanding lab results and encourages open communication with healthcare providers.
