Hello doctor, Kindly confirm if I am arthritic from the available reports.
Hello. Could you provide me with some of your symptoms? I have gone through your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Your inflammation markers are very high (erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein). So, it does indicate either there is an infection or inflammation. I need more history to confirm it. Your arthritis tests are negative, but then again we can have arthritis even when the rheumatoid factor, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide, and anti-nuclear antibody are negative. Provide me with the medical history and I will be able to guide you better. For more information consult a rheumatologist online -->
