Rheumatologic Disorders (click for worldwide facilities list): Rheumatology is a sub-specialty in internal medicine and pediatrics, devoted to the diagnosis and therapy of rheumatic diseases including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, and rheumatic and connective tissue disorders.
These diseases are often manifested, at least in part, by the symptoms of arthritis. However, there are many diseases which may have arthritis as only a part of their clinical picture (or may not have arthritis at all) that also fall under the care of the rheumatologist.
Many of the arthritis and related disorders have in common the feature of autoimmunity. In the rheumatic diseases, the immune system is overactive, having lost its regulatory control. Thus, instead of simply attacking bacteria or other organisms that are foreign to us, the immune system turns on its own tissues and attacks them.
In the case of arthritis, the immune system attacks the joints and the lining of the joints resulting in inflammation (redness, swelling, warmth, tenderness, decreased motion) in and around the joint.
However, these diseases may be manifested in a host of other symptoms including hair loss, skin rashes, mouth ulcers, lymph node enlargement, chest or abdominal pain, dry eyes and mouth, genital ulcers, and involvement of internal organs such as lungs, kidneys, or other systems.
The rheumatologist serves as a consultant to other physicians in the diagnosis and management of these diseases, as well as providing accurate information to patients and their families.
The most common rheumatologic disorders are:
rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, lupus (Systemic lupus erythematosus), ankylosing spondylitis and other spondyloarthropathies, polymyositis/dermatomyositis, scleroderma, Wegener's granulomatosus, giant cell arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica, vasculitis, gout and pseudogout, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and juvenile dermatomyositis.
