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 (CYCLIC CITRULLINATED PEPTIDE) Test or Take a C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) - QUANTITATIVE Test

I tested positive for COVID 19 and received my report on the 24th. Since then, I have been taking my medications regularly. However, I am still experiencing weakness and occasional fever. I do not have any issues with appetite or meals, I am eating normally. My case has been classified as mild. I am 30 years old and weigh 57 kg. Do I need to go for any further tests, or is this normal during recovery from mild COVID?

Hello Doctor, my reports consistently show normocytic, mildly hypochromic RBCs, and I am concerned about what this means. I am pregnant and currently taking iron supplements and bifolate tablets, yet the results have not changed. Does mildly hypochromic indicate anemia, and should I consider getting a thalassemia test done?
