Inflammation: The Battle Within Inflammation is a natural defense of the body to protect against foreign substances or injury, but it can cause problems in certain diseases. What Is C-Reactive Protein (CRP)? As a blood test, CRP is not specific. A high result serves as a general indication of acute inflammation. Doctors can utilize the CRP test to assess the effectiveness of a specific arthritis treatment and monitor periods of disease flareup. Does your doctor order this test routinely. Atkins and Arthritis The Atkins Diet, the Zone, and the South Beach Diet are all low carb diets which have recently generated alot of publicity, not all of which has been favorable. Low carb diets have potential negative health consequences such as increasing the risk of gout, osteoporosis, and more. Perhaps eating less and exercising more is still the way to go.

Diffuse Connective Tissue Disease Topics Rheumatoid Arthritis Relapsing Polychondritis Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Discoid Lupus Erythematosus ... Mixed Connective Tissue Disease Rheumatoid Arthritis A chronic syndrome characterized by nonspecific, usually symmetric inflammation of the peripheral joints, potentially resulting in progressive destruction of articular and periarticular structures, with or without generalized manifestations. (See also Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis in Ch. 270.) Etiology and Pathology The cause is unknown. A genetic predisposition has been identified and, in white populations, localized to a pentapeptide in the HLA-DR locus of class II histocompatibility genes. Environmental factors may also play a role. Immunologic changes may be initiated by multiple factors (see also Autoimmune Disorders under Disorders with Type III Hypersensitivity Reactions in Ch. 148). About 1% of all populations are affected, women two to three times more often than men. Onset may be at any age, most often between 25 and 50 yr. Prominent immunologic abnormalities that may be important in pathogenesis include immune complexes found in joint fluid cells and in vasculitis. Plasma cells produce antibodies (eg, rheumatoid factor [RF]) that contribute to these complexes. Lymphocytes that infiltrate the synovial tissue are primarily T helper cells, which can produce pro-inflammatory cytokines. Macrophages and their cytokines (eg, tumor necrosis factor, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor) are also abundant in diseased synovium. Increased adhesion molecules contribute to inflammatory cell emigration and retention in the synovial tissue. Increased macrophage-derived lining cells are prominent along with some lymphocytes and vascular changes in early disease.

Next page Rheumatoid Arthritis Medical Author: William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR What is rheumatoid arthritis? What causes rheumatoid arthritis? What are the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis? ... Rheumatoid Arthritis At A Glance What is rheumatoid arthritis? Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis can also cause inflammation of the tissue around the joints, as well as other organs in the body. Autoimmune diseases are illnesses which occur when the body tissues are mistakenly attacked by its own immune system. The immune system is a complex organization of cells and antibodies designed normally to "seek and destroy" invaders of the body, particularly infections. Patients with these diseases have antibodies in their blood which target their own body tissues, where they can be associated with inflammation. Because it can affect multiple other organs of the body, rheumatoid arthritis is referred to as a systemic illness and is sometimes called rheumatoid disease. While rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic illness, meaning it can last for years, patients may experience long periods without symptoms. Typically, however, rheumatoid arthritis is a progressive illness that has the potential to cause joint destruction and functional disability.

Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder is an autoimmune process with symptoms of Scleroderma, Myositis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus , Rheumatoid Arthritis and/or other autoimmune diseases. It is a description of a group of symptoms occurring together. This is different from a diagnosis that describes the underlying process. It is a disorder of the immune system, which normally functions to protect the body against invading infections and cancers, and toxins. In Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder, as in other autoimmune diseases parts of the complex immune system is over-active and produces increased amounts of abnormal antibodies that attack the patient's own organs. Sometimes MCTD is called Overlap Syndrome or Undifferentiated Mix Connective Tissue Disorder. Some writers discriminate between them claiming that each of these are different. Some argue MCTD is not a distinct entity at all, and is just one of the forms of Lupus or Scleroderma.

40. Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis The most prevalent form of juvenile arthritis is juvenile rheumatoid arthritis,or JRA, affecting approximately 75,000 children in the United States. http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/arthritis/jra.html

KidsHealth Parents Medical Problems It may begin with a swollen knuckle, a spiking fever, or an unexplainable rash. But no matter what symptoms appear, hearing the word "arthritis" used as a diagnosis for your child can be unexpected and confusing. Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints that is characterized by swelling, heat, and pain . Arthritis can be short-term or chronic. In rare cases, it can last a lifetime. Juvenile arthritis , or JA , is the term used for all the types of arthritis that affect children. Although we often associate this disorder with the elderly, many forms of arthritis afflict more than 285,000 children in the United States. The most prevalent form of juvenile arthritis is juvenile rheumatoid arthritis , or JRA , affecting approximately 75,000 children in the United States. Read the article below to learn about the symptoms, signs, and treatment of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in children. What Causes Juvenile Rheumatoid (Idiopathic) Arthritis? The medical community doesn't know exactly what causes rheumatoid arthritis (also referred to as idiopathic arthritis) in children. Research indicates that it is an autoimmune disease. In autoimmune diseases , white blood cells lose the ability to tell the difference between the body's own healthy cells and tissues and harmful invaders like bacteria and viruses . The immune system, which is supposed to protect the body from these harmful invaders, instead releases chemicals that can damage healthy tissues and cause inflammation and pain.
