Dear Sir, I am S Anand. My lab report shows a Rheumatoid Factor of 15.37 IU per ml, HS CRP of 9.95, with a standard value of 3, and Lipoprotein level of 66.32, with a standard value of 30.0. I would like to know if these results indicate Rheumatoid Arthritis. Please suggest the appropriate course of medication. Thank you, Sir.

Mildly raised RF and CRP suggest some inflammation. This may point to early arthritis, but does not confirm RA alone. See a rheumatologist for a full assessment

Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...

Take a Anti CCP Test (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test

What causes low total porphyrins in a blood test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am experiencing skin rashes and whiteheads at various places on my body, accompanied by itching. I have tried the shampoo recommended by a dermatologist, but it has not helped. I am concerned this might be related to thyroid issues. Please advise what could be causing this and what tests or treatment I should consider.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please check my blood report. Some values are higher. Please advise as I am very worried after seeing this report. I also tested urine routine and microscopy which are normal?
