What are the routine examinations of rheumatoid bone disease
Examination is the first step in our diagnosis of the disease. It is well known that the types of clinical diseases are very complex and complex. Many diseases have similar symptoms and symptoms, which is easy to cause misdiagnosis and misjudgment. At this time, some medical examinations are needed to make a differential diagnosis. , Rheumatism is a common and high-risk disease, so what are the routine examinations for this disease?
When it comes to differential diagnosis, let me introduce to you what kind of tests are usually done to judge cervical spondylosis or arthropathy. The simplest form of cervical spondylosis is to take a radiograph of the cervical spine. From the film, you can see whether there is bone hyperplasia, whether the cervical spine arrangement sequence has changed, how the cervical spine is physiologically curved, whether the physiological curvature is straightened, and some patients even have physiological The bend is reversed, this is the easiest check.
Rheumatoid arthritis requires some blood tests to perform some tests. The most common test is to look at the patient’s erythrocyte sedimentation rate, rheumatoid factor, and C-reactive protein, which is equivalent to The initial screening for rheumatoid arthritis is a routine examination in all hospitals regardless of the level of the hospital.
There is also lumbar disc herniation. First of all, go to the doctor to take an ordinary lumbar spine X-ray film. If the back pain and leg pain are more obvious, the information cannot be obtained on the X-ray film. It is possible to make an intervertebral disc CT, to further understand whether there is intervertebral disc herniation, which direction the disc herniation protrudes or the degree of compression of the nerve, is a comprehensive judgment.
Rheumatoid bone disease is more basic or X-ray related examination. In addition, palpation is the first step. First, the doctor sees the uncomfortable place in the process of seeing the doctor. The doctor should listen. The second step, the doctor is going to check. According to what the patient said, for example, the patient said that my neck hurts and my hands are numb. After listening to this, the doctor should check the neck and check the upper limbs. Check whether the related muscles are very tight and cramp. Check the neck Is the activity level of the department normal? Check the function and sensory movements of the upper limbs. Generally, the third step is to assist the examination, do some tests, and do some imaging studies, such as photos. The diagnosis of a disease by the general doctor is based on the patient''s own main complaint, and the doctor has found some signs through the hand and eye, and the evidence obtained by the instrument to finally obtain a preliminary diagnosis.
Orthopedics often use some so-called high-depth instruments. Cervical spondylosis patients have symptoms of compression of the spinal cord, the spinal cord is a critical part, and if the spinal cord is compressed, the patient will be paralyzed if severe. If the doctor feels that the patient has symptoms of spinal cord compression, the patient will be asked to take an MRI, which is a very precise instrument for cervical spine examination.
