Relevant Diseases & Conditions
Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)
Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory arthritis primarily affecting the axial skeleton (spine and sacroiliac joints), leading to pain, stiffness, and eventual fusion (ankylosis) of the vertebrae. It is a prototypical type of spondyloarthritis (SpA) and often involves extra-articular manifestations.
Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA)
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis, characterized by heterogeneous involvement of joints, entheses, and other tissues. It belongs to the spondyloarthritis family and can lead to joint damage, functional impairment, and reduced quality of life if untreated.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by persistent inflammatory synovitis, primarily affecting peripheral joints in a symmetric pattern. It leads to progressive joint damage, deformity, and functional disability if untreated, and is often associated with extra-articular manifestations.
