What is spondyloarthropathy?

At present, the incidence of spondyloarthropathy is getting higher and higher, and many people suffer from it, which has caused great harm to their physical and mental health. Need everyone's attention. So what? Let's invite relevant experts to give you a detailed introduction. ? Introduce you from the following points: 1. Rheumatoid arthritis: This disease is one of the most common chronic arthritis. It is related to heredity, bacterial and viral infections and environmental factors including smoking. It can occur at any age, but it is more common in women aged 40-60. The small joints (knuckles and wrists) of both hands are mostly involved, showing bilateral involvement. At the same time, the patient is accompanied by joint stiffness and limited joint activity that lasts for more than 1 hour. When the condition is serious, it can involve all organs. Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody is its specific antibody. Most patients are positive for rheumatoid factor, but there is no absolute correlation between rheumatoid factor level and disease activity. 2. Osteoarthritis: also known as degenerative arthropathy and osteoarthrosis, commonly known as hyperosteogeny. The onset of osteoarthritis is closely related to age and obesity. The prevalence rate of osteoarthritis in people under 45 years old is only 2%, while the prevalence rate in people over 65 years old is as high as 68%. In short, people have different degrees of osteoarthritis from old age to old age. All joints can participate. However, when the small joints of both hands are involved, most of them are the distal interphalangeal joints of both hands. Clinically, the patient's distal interphalangeal joint has bony processes. Patients can also have morning stiffness, but the time is less than half an hour. Rheumatoid factors in the blood of such patients are often negative. 3. Gouty arthritis: This disease is related to excessive uric acid production and/or decreased excretion in the body. Too much uric acid is deposited in the joints, causing arthritis. Its onset is very urgent, often induced by overeating or stress, and it is characterized by redness, swelling and heat pain of joints. Single joint involvement is common, and the most common part is the bony process near the big toe. Acute gouty arthritis is also relieved quickly, and the symptoms can be relieved after no treatment or drug treatment 1 ~ 2 weeks, but it is easy to relapse again. Chronic gouty arthritis may have no obvious intermission, but it is characterized by recurrent arthritis. 4. Ankylosing spondylitis: Young men are frequent and have obvious family onset tendency. It mainly involves the spine and sacroiliac joints, and peripheral joints can also be involved. When the lesion is serious, the spine may be stiff, and the activities of cervical, lumbar and thoracic vertebrae are limited, resulting in "humpback", which seriously affects the daily life of patients. More than 90% patients are positive for HLA-B27, but negative for rheumatoid factor. 5. Psoriatic arthritis: also known as psoriatic arthritis. Patients are often accompanied by skin manifestations of psoriasis. Psoriatic arthritis arthropathy is similar to rheumatoid arthritis, so it may be confused with rheumatoid arthritis. When the small joints of both hands are involved, they are mostly at the interphalangeal joints at the ends of fingers. However, sacroiliac joints and spinal receptors are rare in rheumatoid arthritis. Some patients may have no skin lesions when arthritis occurs, and such patients are easily misdiagnosed. The patient's serum rheumatoid factor was negative. 6. Reactive arthritis: the onset is urgent, and there is often a history of intestinal or urinary tract infection before the onset. Asymmetric involvement of peripheral joints (especially lower limbs). Sacroiliac joints and spine may also be involved. Extraarticular manifestations include ophthalmia, urethritis and balanitis. More than 80% patients are HLA-B27 positive and rheumatoid factor negative. ? The above questions are related to spinal arthropathy. If you have any questions, you can ask experts to answer them. What is the cause of joint swelling and pain? How about stiff hands and feet? What are the symptoms of finger hyperosteogeny? Finger joint pain How is finger joint pain?
