MCTD commonly causes joint pain/swelling, Raynaud phenomenon, muscle inflammation, and scarring of the skin of the hand. It does not typically cause kidney disease or seizures. Distinguishing laboratory characteristics are a positive, speckled anti-nuclear antibody and an anti-U1-RNP antibody. less some common symptoms muscle weakness in leg(s) pain in several joints rash weakness some related diagnoses 1 - 7 of 93 diagnoses rheumatoid arthritis arthritis statin myopathy systemic lupus erythematosis sarcoidosis polymyositis Sjogren's Syndrome   more do i have 'mixed connective tissue disease'?
