what is seronegative RA and how is it treated since my blood tests for RA are all negative is this a lifelong condition or will I need surgery at some point
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
People with seronegative RA do not have high levels of the antibodies currently tested for in RA blood tests. However, as with seropositive RA, it responds to treatment that affects the immune system, suggesting it is an autoimmune disease.

View allI'm 52 and my ASO titer is 459. Could this affect my heart or kidneys? What precautions should I take?
An elevated ASO (anti-streptolysin O) titer can indicate a recent streptococcal infection. This infection can potentially lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, which can affect the heart and kidneys. To prevent complications, it is important to treat the underlying streptococcal infection with antibiotics. In this case, you can take a course of antibiotics such as Penicillin V at a dosage of 500mg four times a day for 10 days. Additionally, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and further management. It is also advisable to rest, stay hydrated, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to support your recovery

Could you help me out with finding someone in Delhi who can properly administer the pencompenidure 1.2M unit injection that I've been getting every 21 days? I've been doing this for the past 10 years, but since moving here last year, it's been tough to find a good person for the job. The last physician I went to didn't quite do it right. I'm a bit worried and would appreciate any recommendations.
For pushing the injection of PencomPenidure 1.2M unit, you can consult with a healthcare professional such as a nurse or a medical assistant who is experienced in administering injections. They can help you with the injection at the recommended interval of 21 days.
