The last issue on The amazing Kardashian family do not have to do with cheating little friends or best friends who burn bridges. For Kim Kardashian West, it's about his health. In a tearful segment from the last season of the long series, Kardashian explained that she had tested positive for anti-lupus antibodies and described her symptoms. However, a positive test for antibodies is not the same as a diagnosis. At first, Kardashian thought her symptoms resulted from rheumatoid arthritis, but she decided to seek the advice of a professional before jumping to conclusions.

"I felt so tired, so nauseous, and my hands are really swollen," Kardashian said. "I feel like I'm literally falling apart, my hands are numb, it's so scary, so I have to go to the doctor and see what happens because I can not live." like that."

Later in the episode, Kardashian learned that his blood tests had resumed with antibodies associated with both lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Her doctor added that even though she appeared naturally upset, having antibodies did not mean she would have one of the autoimmune diseases.

Dr. Brad Rovin, a nephrologist at Wexner Medical Center at Ohio State University, clarified the situation at the refinery29. "Having a positive test for antibodies – or the proteins that help your body fight infections – associated with lupus does not mean that you actually have the disease," he said. "Just an antibody test can bring back a false positive, many people develop antibodies at low concentrations and do not necessarily have the disease."

Neither lupus nor rheumatoid arthritis is a death sentence. Both are manageable, Rovin said. Lupus is managed with specific steroids called corticosteroids, according to the Mayo Clinic. Rovin adds that progress is being made every day for both diseases.

"It's gratifying to see the progress being made, particularly with respect to rheumatoid arthritis," said Rovin. "But let me say it this way: most people do not want one or the other diagnosis."

Kardashian has been open with his health in the past, even asking for advice on Twitter regarding the management of his psoriasis problems.
