I have arthritis that affects many of my joints ... Could It Be rheumatoid arthritis and how the doctor?

There are over 100 different types of arthritis. Most of them involve inflammation. When a patient goes to a rheumatologist for a diagnosis, there is a process of elimination to arrive at the correct diagnosis. This removal process is called differential diagnosis.

The differential diagnosis can be a difficult task because so many forms of arthritis, particularly inflammatory forms of arthritis are similar. The following is a list of types of inflammatory arthritis that can be seen and should be considered when evaluating a patient with symptoms of inflammatory arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)

RA is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease that can affect any joint in the body but preferentially attacks the peripheral joints (fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips, knees, ankles and feet. It may bodies also affect non-mixed systems such as the lungs, eyes, skin and cardiovascular system. The onset of RA can be insidious, slow, nonspecific symptoms, including fatigue, malaise, loss of appetite, low fever, weight loss, and vague aches and pains, or it may have sudden onset of inflammation involving multiple joints. The joint symptoms usually occur bilaterally and are symmetrical. damage joints called "erosion" may be seen with magnetic resonance imaging early or X-ray later in the course of the disease. Approximately 80% of patients with RA have high levels of rheumatoid factor (RF) or anti-CCP.

Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA)

JRA describes a group of arthritic conditions that occur in children under 16 years. Three forms of JRA exist, including oligoarticular (1-4 joints), polyarticular (> 4 joints), and systemic onset Still's disease. It is associated with significant internal organ damage and may also have fever and rash, in addition to joint disease. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis, is considered the type most similar to adult RA, and is responsible for approximately 30% of cases of JRA. Most children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis were negative for RF and their prognosis is generally good. Roughly 20% of patients with polyarticular JRA have elevated RF and these patients appear to be more at risk of chronic disease, the progressive destruction of joints and damage. Uveitis, an inflammatory condition of the eye is a common finding in oligoarticular JRA, especially in patients who are antinuclear antibodies (ANA) positive. The dangerous characteristic of uveitis is that it can cause symptoms relatively little control such care is recommended to prevent blindness.

Lupus erythematosus (SLE)

SLE is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease that may involve the skin, joints, kidneys, brain and blood vessel walls. At least four of the following symptoms that have been made by the American College of Rheumatology are usually present for a diagnosis to:

aec by a red butterfly shaped the face, affecting the cheeks;

aec rash typical of other parts of the body;

aec Sensitivity to sunlight;

aec Mouth ulcers;

aec Joint inflammation (arthritis);

aec fluid around the lungs, heart or other organs;

aec Kidney dysfunction;

aec Low white blood cell count, low number of red blood cells due to hemolytic anemia, or low platelet count;

aec nerve or brain dysfunction;

aec Positive results of a blood test for ANA, and

aec Positive results of a blood test for antibodies to double-stranded DNA or other antibodies, including anti-Smith or antiphospholipid antibodies.

Patients with lupus can have significant inflammatory arthritis. That may be why lupus difficu.
