Dr. Menna Abdel Razek ElKhatib Specialist in Rheumatic

Dr. Mona Abdel Razek El Khatib treats a wide range of rheumatic and immune diseases, including:

Rheumatoid arthritis, which causes swelling and pain in the joints.
Lupus, an immune disease that affects the skin, joints, and internal organs.
Ankylosing spondylitis, which leads to stiffness of the spine and chronic back pain.
Gout, a type of arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid in the body.
Sjogren's syndrome, which causes dry eyes and mouth due to a malfunction in the immune system.
Chronic tendon and muscle inflammation that affects movement and causes recurring pain.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, causing inflammation, swelling, and chronic pain. It can affect several organs in the body. Osteoporosis is a degenerative condition caused by loss of bone density, making bones weak and more susceptible to fractures, especially in women after menopause. Rheumatoid arthritis affects joints symmetrically (such as both knees or hands on both sides), while osteoporosis affects bones in general and may not cause symptoms until a fracture occurs.
