Enteropathic Arthropathy is a form of chronic, inflammatory arthritis associated with the occurrence of an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the two best-known types being Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease. It is also known as Enteropathic Spondylitis.
Etiology[edit]
The exact cause of enteropathic arthropathy is unknown. However, it is believed to be caused by the body's immune system attacking healthy cells in the gut, leading to inflammation and the subsequent development of arthritis. This is similar to the process that occurs in other forms of autoimmune arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Symptoms[edit]
The symptoms of enteropathic arthropathy can vary greatly from person to person. However, common symptoms include joint pain and stiffness, particularly in the spine and sacroiliac joints, inflammation of the eye (uveitis), skin rashes, and diarrhea. The severity of the arthritis is often related to the severity of the underlying IBD.
Diagnosis[edit]
Diagnosis of enteropathic arthropathy is typically made based on the presence of IBD and the characteristic symptoms of arthritis. Imaging tests, such as X-rays or MRI, may be used to confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent of the disease. Blood tests may also be used to check for markers of inflammation.
Treatment[edit]
Treatment for enteropathic arthropathy typically involves managing the underlying IBD and reducing inflammation to relieve joint pain and prevent joint damage. This may involve the use of medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, or disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). In severe cases, surgery may be required to repair damaged joints.
