General weakness, fatigue, and malaise without obvious cause.

List of diseases

What diagnostic methods are used in the rheumatology department

Blood test

Basic and immunoassay blood tests help detect inflammation, markers of autoimmune processes (rheumatoid factor, antinuclear antibodies, anti-keratin antibodies), uric acid levels, and C-reactive protein. This is an important step in making a preliminary diagnosis.

Ultrasound of the joints (US)

Helps detect swelling, synovial membrane thickening, fluid accumulation, and other changes in joints at early stages. It is a non-invasive and safe method of assessing soft tissue conditions.

X-ray of the joints

X-rays are used to visualize bone structures, detect deformities, narrowing of joint spaces, bone erosions, and other changes typical of chronic arthritis or osteoarthritis.

Computed tomography (CT)

Prescribed in complex clinical cases or to clarify the extent of damage. CT provides layered imaging of joints and surrounding tissues for precise assessment of pathological processes.

How to prepare for a rheumatologist appointment

Do I need to specially prepare for a joint examination?

No special preparation is required. Wear comfortable clothing that doesn’t restrict movement and easily exposes body areas for examination. This will allow the doctor to fully assess the joints and muscles without discomfort for you.

Should I bring previous examination results to the rheumatologist appointment?

Bring all medical documents related to your condition: previous blood tests, ultrasound, X-ray, CT or MRI results, hospital discharge papers, and recommendations from other specialists. This helps the doctor quickly assess disease dynamics and avoid repeated examinations.

Can I take medication before the rheumatologist consultation?

If you take medications regularly, do not stop them on your own. However, before the visit, it's best not to take painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs unless absolutely necessary. This allows the doctor to objectively assess the severity of symptoms.

Initial examination and consultation procedure

The first rheumatologist consultation is the first step toward an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. The doctor will carefully listen to your complaints, assess the condition of your joints, muscles, and overall well-being, and, if necessary, prescribe additional tests. Based on the examination, an individualized therapy plan will be created.

Complaint assessment and medical history collection

The rheumatologist will ask when the symptoms appeared, how they changed over time, and about past illnesses, injuries, or surgeries. Family history and working conditions are also taken into account.

Physical examination

The doctor evaluates joint symmetry, presence of swelling, deformities, redness, performs palpation, and checks range of motion. They also pay attention to skin changes and the patient’s general condition.

Appointment of examinations

Based on the examination, the doctor may prescribe laboratory tests (general, biochemical, immunological blood tests), ultrasound, X-ray, or CT. These help to clarify the diagnosis and assess the extent of damage.

Recommendations

After diagnosis is established, the doctor provides individual recommendations regarding medication therapy, lifestyle, diet, need for physiotherapy, or consultations with other specialists.

Андрій 16.01.2026
Звернувся через висипання й біль у суглобах. Лікарка швидко пояснила простими словами, як це лікується. Дуже вдячний за підтримку і нормальне, людське ставлення.

Потрапила до Вікторії Володимирівни після кількох безрезультатних консультацій в інших спеціалістів. Тут уперше не намагалися «підганяти» симптоми під стандартний діагноз. Лікарка дуже уважно порівняла скарги, аналізи й перебіг стану. Дуже приємний спеціаліст, викликає довіру. Прийом був неспішний і залишив відчуття, що ситуацію реально аналізують, а не просто лікують окремі прояви.
