Yes, it is possible of course. RA is not specific just for ra,it can be elevated in many other autoimmune diseases,infections and liver diseases. also it can be found in healthy people. If you dont have other symptoms that fits to RA then you probably dont have it and there is no need for specific treatment.
If you have any doubts about it,you should check your RA in few months or do specific body scans to see is there inflammation signs in your joints and other organs. Wish you good health. Feel free to ask. Regards
