I have been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis for the past year. Today, I developed a fever, and my doctor advised me to get a full CBC test. Could you please help me understand what is included in a CBC report and what the different values indicate about my health?

Likely meant CBC (Complete Blood Count). Fever in RA could indicate infection or disease flare up. CBC can show WBC levels and signs of inflammation. Consult your rheumatologist based on the report.

Dear Sir, I am having arthritis problems. Someone told me that it may be related to the advancement of HIV. I went for an ICTC test, and I was found negative. Please suggest what I should do. Does rheumatoid arthritis affect the immune system? What can be done.

I am 18 years old. Suddenly, my leg got swollen, and my joints started hurting. Now my wrists and shoulders also ache, especially in the morning. I consulted a doctor and did blood tests, but everything came back normal. Why am I experiencing joint pain, and what should I do?

I have attached my RF Turbidimetry test report. I am 22 years old and weigh 103 kg. Is this normal? If not, what should I do? Is this reversible?
