What Are The Chances Of Having Rheumatoid Arthritis Based On The Report?
Hi. I ve had more than 15 shoulder dislocations, I m 28, and I m having a Repair rotator cuff surgery next week. What I d like to know, is if I might have rheumatoid arthritis? My current blood tests show that my lymphoctyes are high : 46.8% / 3.47K/uL Red distribution width is also high : RDW-SD : 50.4 fL RDW-CV : 15/9% And Iron is also quite high :158.2 ug/dL MRI artho showed that I have rotator cuff inpingement syndrome, approx. 16 mm from literal edge of the glenoid... And showing that I have a hill-sachs lesion. Do you think that I m just paranoid or I might actually have arthiritis? Thanx.

Hi,
In this report there is no test which is suggestive of rheumatoid arthritis, please check your anti CCP, RA factor and antinuclear antibody to confirm the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
