Rheumatoid factor positivity in granulomatosis with polyangiitis: implications for clinical outcomes and immunological profiles
Rf positivity in GPA is associated with distinct clinical and immunological profiles, including an arthritis-dominant phenotype and reduced skin involvement. These findings suggest that Rf may influence disease course and organ involvement patterns, highlighting its potential as a biomarker for identifying distinct clinical phenotypes in GPA management.
