Autoimmune Disease Specialist in Dubai
Expert diagnosis and long-term care for lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and complex autoimmune conditions.
Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system attacks healthy tissue, causing joint pain, fatigue, rashes, and organ inflammation. Consultant rheumatologist Dr. Humeira Badsha provides specialist assessment, blood testing, musculoskeletal ultrasound, and personalised treatment including DMARDs and biologics in Jumeirah 3, Dubai.
Symptoms that need specialist review
Autoimmune disease can start subtly. The pattern of symptoms, blood tests, and organ involvement matters more than any single result.
- Joint swelling, morning stiffness, mouth ulcers, photosensitive rash, hair loss, or chest pain with breathing
- Dry eyes and dry mouth, unexplained fatigue, Raynaud's symptoms, or skin thickening
- Positive ANA, ENA, dsDNA, RF, anti-CCP, low complements, or unexplained inflammatory markers
How diagnosis is clarified
The consultation connects symptoms with examination, blood tests, urine tests, imaging, and past records so treatment is not based on isolated lab results.
- Review of previous blood tests, kidney/urine results, imaging, and medication history
- Rheumatology examination for joints, skin, mouth, eyes, and connective tissue signs
- Clear plan for monitoring, flare prevention, and when organ-specific referral is needed
