What could cause an increased ASO and joint pain?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My ASO is 203, and creatinine is 0.80. I am having a joint pain and stomach upset problem from the last four years. The RA factor is nil and hemoglobin is 11. I am sending my LFT and ASO reports. Please suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- According to your complaints and reports attached (attachment removed to protect patient identity), I suspect a rheumatic heart disease in your case. I would recommend you get evaluated further.
- Increased ASO (antistreptolysin O) with joint pain could be due to a streptococcus infection which is one of the causes of rheumatic heart disease.
- I will suggest some investigations for you. If it is negative, then it could be reactive arthritis secondary to streptococcal infection.
- Investigations to be done:
- ECG (electrocardiogram).
- 2D echo (echocardiogram).
