Overview
Spondyloarthropathies are forms of arthritis that usually involve the bones of spine and surrounding joints. They can cause pain swelling of the joints and sometimes leads to destruction of joint such as backbones, shoulders, and hips. this destruction of the joints occasionally eventuate in limited spine rotation and movement.
What are the symptoms of Spondyloarthropathy?
the most common symptoms of spondyloarthropathies are pain, swelling, and stiffness, mostly appeared in the back and causes low back pain.
- axial spondylitis, mostly affect vertebra column and pelvic joints
- peripheral spondylitis, mostly affect arms and legs
- enthesitis, which is the inflammation of the point that tendons or ligament meets the bone, that firstly demonstrate itself by pain at the back or bottom of your heels
- Uveitis causes pain or redness in one eye
there are some possible symptoms associated with psoriasis sam as skin rash or intestinal inflammatory disease ulcerative colitis.
individuals with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) sometimes develop arthritis in their pelvic joints such as hip or shoulders, or both simultaneously early on. It also can mildly increase your body temperature due to inflammation in your body and can cause fatigue and reduction of your appetite.
If the disease does not treated properly the situation can be progressed and causes even the stiffer spine and its joints such as joints between your ribs and spine, since deep breathing can be hard.
What are the causes of spondyloarthropathies?
The exact cause of spondiloarthritis is not clear, albeit genetic play an obvious role in it, such that is called hereditary disease by some investigators. it has been mentioned that 30 different genes are responsible for appearing of spondyloarthropathies though there is one gene that are shared in all of them and it is HLA-B27. some other research suggest a link between bacteria and spondyloarthropathies or other inflammatory disease .
studies also demonstrated that Reactive arthritis is the only type of spondyloarthritis known to be triggered by a bacterial infection.
