Question 1

I'm really concerned about my mom's ESR test results. It came back at 85, and I know that's above the normal range of 020. Even though we had a CECT done on her chest and abdomen, which came back clear, I'm worried about what might be causing her high ESR. She's dealing with mild arthritis and osteoporosis too. Could you help explain what might be going on, and suggest if we need to do any other tests?

Accepted Answer

A high ESR value can indicate inflammation in the body. Given your mother's history of mild arthritis and osteoporosis, the high ESR value could be related to these conditions. However, other possible reasons for a high ESR value include infections, certain autoimmune diseases, and some types of cancer. In this case, considering her symptoms and medical history, it would be advisable to consult with a Rheumatologist for further evaluation.

Question 2

Can you tell me if taking febuxostat 40 would be okay instead of febutaz 40? Ive been taking febutaz 40mg for about 13 days now, but I ran out and the pharmacy near me only had febuxostat 40. They said its the same thing, but I just want to make sure its safe before switching. Is there any difference between the two?

Accepted Answer

Those are exactly the same medicines , just with different brand names

Question 3

I'm dealing with high uric acid levels, and my doctor had prescribed Zyloric and Maxgalin, which I used for three months. However, as soon as I stop taking the tablets, the problem comes back. I'm really worried and unsure about how to handle this. Do you have any advice on what I should do next or any long-term solutions?
