Peripheral spondylarthropathies do not differ much in the mechanism of the attack from their axial counterparts. I assume you are a doctor; the mechanism is still a Th1 mediated response; the main cytokines involved are TNF alpha and IL-17 and IL-23. The current treatment is still based on targeted therapy with biological.. The future is for personalized medicine
My doctor tested it because of heavy lower back pain since >15 years. Result is 500. recommended by the lab is 200 max. My doctor told me: no worries. Still, I'm worried. Any idea?
I have no idea why it was ordered in the first place still.. there is no relation whatsovere between this lab test and back pain.. Just repeat it in a couple of weeks and you will find it is normalizing again. No worries at all..
Hi Doctor, my Aso in 2020 was 400 came to 650 , 900 and now stands at 1208. It worries me. I used to have joint pain but not sure it is due to this. How do we confirm and what need to be done? While googling, I saw that few of the doctors in other sites have suggested surgery for tonsillitis. Can you tell me what needs to be done to reduce the count?
I think you should be seen by a rheumatologist if you have joint pains.. The ASOT test is not related to your joint pains The result reflects that you are having antibodies against a certain microbe called streptococcus.. To be reassured about the ASOT, you can consult a cardiologist who will confirm you do not have any previous heart valve affections Better be only in the clinics of experts and consultants because the ASOT issue will give you a lot of hard time in the hands of inexperienced doctors and they are many unfortunately
