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

Four days ago, suddenly at midnight, I developed full body red rashes and itching. I consulted a doctor, and they said it was due to a food allergy. I had no fever, headache, or joint pain that day. My CBC blood report was normal, but my fingers and palms were slightly swollen. I have been continuing the prescribed medicines for the last four days. It is improving day by day compared to previous days. Today is the fifth day. After taking medicine, the itching and rashes go away for the full day, but every evening, I get very mild rashes and itching. Is this okay for now? Will it take time to cure? How many more days should I continue the medicine? Now I feel some pain in two or three fingers on my hand. Is this joint pain? I am scared about dengue or chikungunya. Is there anything to worry about? Please advise.

I want to understand how to interpret the results of my CBC and metabolic panel. Some values came back abnormal, and I am unsure if they are concerning. My results are: Neutrophils: 84.6 percent (normal range 42.2 to 75.2) Lymphocytes: 8.6 percent (20.5 to 51.5) Eosinophils: 0.3 percent (0.7 to 7.8) Calcium: 10.3 mg/dL (8.4 to 10.2) Alkaline phosphatase: 121 (40 to 120) For reference, I have hypothyroidism and hirsutism. I am taking levothyroxine and spironolactone, and recently stopped hydrochlorothiazide.
