ENT specialists treat a wide range of conditions related to the ears, nose, throat, head, and neck, including sinusitis, hearing loss, throat infections, and more.

Common symptoms include persistent ear pain, hearing loss, sinus pain, frequent sore throats, hoarseness, and dizziness.

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses, often treated with medications, nasal sprays, or in severe cases, surgery.

Hearing loss is diagnosed through hearing tests and treated with hearing aids, medications, or surgical interventions, depending on the cause.

During an ENT consultation, expect a thorough examination, discussion of symptoms, and potential diagnostic tests.

The test helps diagnose rheumatoid arthritis by detecting specific antibodies associated with the condition.

A blood sample is collected and analyzed to measure the levels of anti-CCP antibodies.

No special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.

Results are typically available within a few hours to 24 hours after the sample is processed.

Elevated levels suggest a higher likelihood of rheumatoid arthritis, but further clinical evaluation is needed for a definitive diagnosis.

Preparation includes a pre-surgical evaluation, imaging studies, and discussing the procedure and recovery process with your medical team.
