I'm a bit worried about my serum uric acid level, I recently had a test and it came back as 8.5. Is this something I should be concerned about? Also, could you recommend any medicine or treatment options to help with this?

I'm really worried about my sister's blood test results. Her levels showed 94 instead of being under 20. Plus, her Immuno serology C.R.P is at 9.2 but should be below 6. The total WBC is fine at 11000, and the rest of the results seem normal. Is this something serious? How long might it take for her to get better? Could surgery be necessary? We're hoping for some guidance on what steps to take next. Can you please help?

it appears that your sister may have an elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) of 94, which is higher than the normal range of less than 20. This could indicate inflammation or infection in the body. The C.R.P (C-reactive protein) level of 9.2 is also elevated, suggesting the presence of inflammation. To address this issue, your sister may need to take anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or naproxen to help reduce the inflammation. In addition, if there is an underlying infection, antibiotics may be necessary. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. There is no mention of surgery in the information provided, so surgery is not likely to be required to resolve this issue. Recovery time can vary depending on the underlying cause of the elevated ESR and C.R.P levels. It is important for your sister to follow up with her healthcare provider for further testing and treatment as needed. In summary, it is recommended that your sister follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment of the elevated ESR and C.R.P levels. Anti-inflammatory medications and antibiotics may be necessary to address the inflammation or infection. Regular monitoring and follow-up care are important for her recovery."

I'm trying to make sense of my blood report, and I'm a bit worried. It showed 60mmhr ESR and 45 lymphocytes. I learned a bit about ESR, but I'm not sure what steps I should take next. I've also been dealing with sinusitis, headaches at the back of my head, shoulder pain, and occasional dizziness that makes walking tough. My urine test came out normal, but I'm unsure what other tests I should consider. Could you help guide me on what to do next?

Consult a specialist, such as an ENT doctor, rheumatologist, or immunologist, to discuss your elevated ESR (60mmhr) and lymphocytes (45%) levels, and symptoms like sinusitis, headache, shoulder pain, giddiness, and difficulty walking, and they may recommend further tests, such as CRP, ANA, RF, vitamin B12, and MRI or CT scans, to rule out underlying conditions like infections, autoimmune disorders, or neurological issues, and develop a personalized treatment plan.

I'm experiencing sores in my mouth and pain in my lower limbs. Last year, I had sores in my mouth which were followed by sores on my genital area and similar pain in my lower limbs. Could this be Behet's disease, or might it be something else? I'm really concerned and would appreciate your guidance.

It is possible that you are experiencing symptoms of Behcet's disease, a rare autoimmune condition that can cause mouth sores, genital sores, and inflammation in the blood vessels. However, it is important to consult with a doctor for a proper diagnosis. In the meantime, you can manage the symptoms with medications like colchicine for mouth sores and pain relief for lower limb pain.
