Ana 160:1 with u1rnp 5 u/ml. other lupus screens negative. pulmonary hypertension, renal failure reverses with bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate). can it be mtcd/sjogren?

Dr. Christine Hom answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Unlikely: None of these would be typical presentations of either MCTD or Sjogren's syndrome. You need a good internist or rheumatologist on your care team to help winnow the possibilities and care for your extant medical problem. Best wishes.
