Seronegative rheumatoid arthritis is one of two types of rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition that causes pain, swelling, and stiffness at the joints.
The other, and most common, kind of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is seropositive RA.
Seronegative RA is the least common of the two types of RA and does not have the same markers that usually characterize the condition. These markers, which are found in the blood, are anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies or rheumatoid factor.
