    FAQ's

    Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of the membranes around your joints (synovium). This can lead to ongoing inflammation and affect your joints over time, causing discomfort, swelling, stiffness, and potential damage. It often involves multiple joints on both sides of your body. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is essential to consult with your healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and management.

    Rheumatologists are medical doctors who specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune and rheumatic diseases. These highly trained physicians focus on conditions that affect the joints, muscles, bones, and connective tissues, aiming to provide comprehensive care for patients with disorders such as arthritis, lupus, and other rheumatologic conditions. Rheumatologists play a crucial role in managing chronic inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases, working towards improving the overall well-being of their patients.

    Consult a rheumatologist if you are experiencing recurring episodes of skin rash, fever, swelling, or joint pain or persistent early morning stiffness. Also, seek their expertise if routine painkillers are ineffective in alleviating your joint pain, or if you have been diagnosed with arthritis or a rheumatic disease.

    Doctors diagnose arthritis by assessing symptoms such as joint pain, swelling, and inflammation, along with a review of the patient’s medical history. Your doctor may also conduct diagnostic laboratory tests and imaging, including X-rays and MRI, and perform joint aspiration for a comprehensive evaluation.

    There are various types of arthritis, each with distinct characteristics. The main types include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, vasculitis and lupus. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and tailored management based on individual needs and symptoms.

    There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, several treatments and medications are available to manage symptoms, slow the progression of the disease, and improve the quality of life of patients with RA.

    Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can develop at any age, but it is more commonly observed between the ages of 30 and 50. However, it is essential to note that RA affects people of all age groups, including children (juvenile idiopathic arthritis) and older adults. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial regardless of age, and treatment options may vary based on individual factors.

    Plasmapheresis, often known as therapeutic plasma exchange, is a therapy used to treat autoimmune disorders and severe rheumatic illnesses such as vasculitis, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The procedure involves replacing the patient's unhealthy plasma in their body with healthy plasma.

    Psoriatic arthritis is a form of inflammatory arthritis that can affect individuals with psoriasis (a skin illness characterised by scaly, itchy spots on the skin). The most effective course of treatment for psoriatic arthritis frequently combines prescription drugs, physical activity, and other treatments. These are some therapeutic interventions that include regularly used drugs such as biologics like TNF inhibitors, oral drugs like methotrexate, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for temporary pain management.

    Our rheumatologists offer extensive experience and expertise in managing various conditions such as gout, knee pain, lupus, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, spondyloarthritis, vasculitis arthritis, and childhood arthritis. Employing advanced technologies and treatment modalities, including cutting-edge diagnostics and personalised care plans, we stand out as a top choice for rheumatology care in Hyderabad.
