Patient's question:
My friend's father has been experiencing this for the past two months. I'm not sure what's going on. My friend's father's skin has shown signs of severe itching and pain again, and this condition hasn't stabilized for quite some time. After a thorough examination at a hospital in the town, it was discovered that he had a connective tissue disease.Hello, will rheumatoid connective tissue disease be fatal?
Doctor's answer:
Mixed connective tissue disease refers to a group of clinical diagnostic characteristics of patients who exhibit certain clinical diagnostic symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis, rheumatoid arthritis, Sj?gren's syndrome, and other diseases, with high titers of anti-U1-RNP antibodies in the serum. This includes: Raynaud's phenomenon, joint pain or arthritis, finger swelling, esophageal dysfunction, lymph node inflammation, myositis, etc. The prognosis is relatively good.
