Arthritis & Systemic Autoimmune Disorders
Arthritis and Autoimmune Systemic Disorders refer to a group of conditions in which the body’s immune system attacks its own joints and connective tissuesout of mistake, leading to pain, inflammation, and stiffness. Unlike age-related wear-and-tear arthritis, autoimmune arthritis can occur at any age and often affects multiple joints.
Common Autoimmune Joint Disorders
Some of the major autoimmune conditions that affect the joints include:
- Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) – Chronic inflammation of small joints
- Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) – Arthritis associated with psoriasis, a skin condition with reddish patches and whitish flakes
- Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) – Affects the spine and sacroiliac joints
- Lupus (SLE) – A systemic autoimmune disease that can involve joints and multiple organs
- Reactive Arthritis – Triggered by infections
- IBD-related Arthritis – Linked to inflammatory bowel diseases
