Rheumatism Diagnosis
Generally, no single test alone can diagnose any of the rheumatic diseases. Instead, your
healthcare provider will make a diagnosis of a rheumatic disease based on your symptoms,
a physical exam, and diagnostic testing. Many symptoms of rheumatic disease overlap
with each other, so it may be difficult to get a correct diagnosis at first.
Blood tests can detect elevated levels of inflammatory markers or antibodies associated
with autoimmune conditions.
Imaging scans, such as X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, or computed
tomography (CT) scans examine the extent of joint damage and inflammation.
Rheumatism vs. Arthritis
Rheumatism refers to all conditions that cause pain and inflammation of joints, muscles, and connective tissue.
Arthritis is one type of rheumatism that can affect any joint.
There are several different forms of arthritis, including osteoarthritis from wear and tear and degenerative changes, and rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition.
