In this episode of Arthritis At Home, we are sharing the #CRArthritis interview with Dr. Luke Chen, hematologist and Professor of Medicine at Dalhousie University. Dr. Chendefines what lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes) is and how it’s related to rheumatology and hematology. Lymphadenopathy is often a sign of inflammatory or infectious process happening in the body. A biopsy may not always reveal the underlying issues, but certain blood tests may help diagnose or rule out certain conditions.
