Week 2- Rheumatological Flashcards
types arthritis
degenerative
autoimmune
infectious
metabolic disturbances [depositional]
monoarticular, oligoarticular, or polyarticular
monoarticular= affecting 1 joint, oligoarticular= 4 joints or less
polyarticular= 5+ joints
degenerative arthritis
osteoarthritis
primary joint affected by OA
primary cystic arthrosis of the hip
seronegative spondyloarthritides (4)
- ankylosing spondylitis
- enteropathic arthritis(occurs with IBD)
- psoriatic arthritis
4. reactive arthritis [Reiter syndrome]
depositional types arthritis
- amyloid arthropathy
- calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease [CPPD] (PSEUDO GOUT)
- gout
- hemophilic arthropathy
- hydroxyapatite crystal deposition disease [HADD]
calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease
-pseudo gout
what Todd had
-A condition in which calcium crystals deposit in the joints, potentially causing pain
is RA triggered by genes or enviroment
both
-HLA-DRB1 gene binds exogenous antigens
-infection can trigger
labs associated with RA
-Rheumatoid factor
-activation of MMP-1 [matrix metalloproteinase; degrades cartilage]
pannus
RA
-a well-vascularized mass of granulation tissue termed
where is RA found
found from synovial membrane to cartilage to subchondral bone
Bouchard’s nodes
in RA inflammation of PIP
B= closer to body
B= Bouchards nodes
Heberden’s nodes
DIP = Heberden’s nodes
h= higher=heberdens nodes
radiographic features of RA
periarticular osteopenia marginal erosions
joint-space narrowing
joint destruction with deformities subluxation/dislocation
bony ankylosis
RA sxs aside joints
fatigue, weakness, anorexia, weight loss, and low- grade fever
anemia, vasculitis
rheumatic nodules
retinal and cardiac involvement
rheumatoid nodules are usually seen in pressure areas:
elbows, occiput, lumbosacral
EULAR criteria for RA
- joints affected (more joints=more points)
- labs (RF or ACPA)
- Acute phase reactants (elevated erythrocyte or CRP)
- Duration (sxs 6+ weeks)
most common type lupus (70%)
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
