Rheumatology Consultation

Rheumatology is the medical specialty that is responsible for preventing, diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal and systemic autoimmune diseases. Musculoskeletal diseases affect bones, muscles and joints, as well as the tissues that surround them, which can produce pain, inflammation, stiffness, limited movement and deformity. On the other hand, systemic autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, Sjögren's syndrome, scleroderma or dermatomyosotis, can affect any organ of the body, such as the kidneys, lung, skin, heart or brain.
