World-class rheumatology treatment, prioritizing your health

If you are experiencing persistent pain in your joints that is unresponsive to conventional pain-relief medications, you should see a rheumatology specialist. Common symptoms include, but are not limited to:

• - Chronic skin lesions
• - Prolonged fever
• - Muscle weakness
• - Constant fatigue
• - Dry eyes and mouth
• - Excessive hair loss
• - Recurrent red eye and blood clots

Spotting and diagnosing a rheumatic disease are quintessential for smooth recovery. Failure to recognize it in its preliminary stages can lead to irreversible tissue damage. To be on the safe side, you should book an appointment with a rheumatologist in Dubai if you suspect any of these symptoms.

People with genetic risk along with unidentified environmental triggers are prone to developing autoimmune diseases. This includes people with a family history of autoimmune disease.

People of any age group as less as one year old up to 90 years of age, of any gender can get an autoimmune disease, though these diseases have their own age/gender predilection.

How is my disease diagnosed?

A rheumatology specialist will take a clinical approach to your diagnosis. The symptoms, the pattern of presentation, and associated findings pave the way for diagnosis. The doctor may request specific immunologic tests like rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP, ANA of the disease under suspicion, relevant imaging investigations like X-rays, musculoskeletal ultrasound, CT, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans, and bone densitometry scans to get a complete diagnosis.

Treatment of these conditions takes the medicinal route, with disease-modifying anti-rheumatic agents, newer treatment modalities like biologics, joint aspirations, joint and soft tissue injections, including regenerative medicine platelet-rich plasma. Physical therapies are often utilized to enhance your healing process, as with gout treatment, for instance.
