Does a rheumatologist treat all kinds of arthritis? is there any specific tests to prove arthritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many types & Tests.: Undoubtedly, a rheumatologist is the expert to see for the treatment of the many types of arthritis. Although the clinical evaluation is the best source of information for the presence of arthritis, there are numerous tests used to secure the diagnosis. Included in the tests are x-rays, blood samples and collection and evaluation of joint fluids. Combining all the resources is the most effective.
