I have been having pain in my hand and fingers for the last two or three months. My doctor advised me to check R A factor and uric acid. My blood report shows R A factor 80 and uric acid 10. Please guide me on what to do. Is arthritis curable?

High RA and uric acid suggest possible rheumatoid or gouty arthritis. These can be managed with proper treatment. Please proceed with an X ray of the hands and tests like anti CCP antibody, anti Ds DNA, and anti Ro antibodies as advised, to help confirm the type of arthritis and guide treatment.
Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...
Take a Anti CCP Test (Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) Test or Take a Anti Ds DNA test Test

Hi, I am 37 years old and have uric acid levels around 6.5 to 8 mg/dl with ups and downs. I generally take Zyloric 100 mg twice a day. My test reports are as follows: on 12th July 7 mg/dl, on 23rd July 6.01 mg/dl (while taking Zyloric 100 mg twice a day), and on 18th August 9.5 mg/dl. Creatinine is 1.01 mg/dl. I have recently lost 12 kg in the last 50 days through diet and exercise. During the last two reports, I was on a keto diet with over 90 percent vegetarian food. I am confused about why my uric acid has risen. I consumed spinach, mushrooms, paneer, cauliflower, and other vegetables three times a week, along with flax seeds, chia seeds, and watermelon seeds. Some sources say spinach and mushrooms can raise uric acid, while others say they do not. I am finding it difficult to control my uric acid without identifying the reason. Could you please guide me on how to control it and suggest remedies? Thank you.
