A member asked:
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?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
