Intraindividual Changes in Rheumatoid Factor and Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibody Tests in Korean Patients Visiting Local Clinics and Hospitals
Abstract:Limited data are available on test utilization and intraindividual changes in rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP) in Korean patients that visit local clinics and hospitals.
