Patient's question:
I am 53 years old. Recently, as I have gotten older, I have been experiencing leg pain. I have previously visited an immunology department, but the effect was not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. Is there any benefit to using anti-dsDNA antibody for systemic lupus erythematosus?Doctor's answer:
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus who are in a relapse phase can work together with their doctors to decide on these two types of medications. Whether it helps to receive intravenous immunoglobulin can be beneficial for their health, help regulate their immune function, achieve some control over their condition, and offer certain advantages. They can collaborate with their doctors to alleviate symptoms, pay close attention and carefully monitor the treatment, and have follow-up check-ups at irregular intervals. This approach can lead to better management of the condition.
