Prof. Dr. Md. Abu Shahin

Prof. Dr. Md. Abu Shahin is a Professor of Rheumatology with advanced training in the diagnosis and management of rheumatic diseases. His qualifications include MBBS, FCPS in Medicine and MD in Rheumatology. He also completed a Rheumatology Fellowship in Singapore. Gout is listed among his areas of interest.

Rheumatology covers conditions that can affect joints, muscles, bones and the immune system. Gout is one familiar example. It can cause sudden episodes of intense joint pain, swelling and tenderness, often beginning in the big toe. Other rheumatological problems, such as rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune disorders, may develop differently and require longer-term medical assessment.

A rheumatology consultation may involve reviewing the pattern of pain, stiffness and swelling, along with previous illnesses and medications. Blood tests or imaging can sometimes help identify inflammation or other changes. For a patient with repeated gout attacks, assessment may also help determine factors contributing to high uric acid levels and guide ongoing management.

Prof. Dr. Md. Abu Shahin is associated with Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University in Dhaka, where his chamber is listed. His academic position as a Professor complements his specialist practice in rheumatology. Patients attending for joint pain, gout or other rheumatic complaints can bring previous laboratory and imaging reports to the consultation.
