Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects the joints, causing pain, swelling, and potential joint deformity. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in managing symptoms and preventing long-term damage. Our comprehensive RA services provide a holistic approach to diagnosis, treatment, and management, ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients.

Diagnostic Procedures

  1. Clinical Evaluation:
    • A thorough medical history and physical examination are conducted to identify common symptoms of RA, such as joint pain, swelling, and stiffness.
  2. Blood Tests:
    • Rheumatoid Factor (RF) and Anti-CCP Antibodies: These markers help in confirming the diagnosis of RA.
    • Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and C-Reactive Protein (CRP): These tests assess the level of inflammation in the body.
  3. Imaging Studies:
    • X-rays: To detect joint damage and erosion.
    • Ultrasound or MRI: Used for a more detailed view of joint inflammation and early detection of joint damage.
  4. Joint Aspiration (Arthrocentesis):
    • A small amount of synovial fluid is extracted from the affected joint to check for inflammation markers or infections.

Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis

  • Persistent joint pain and tenderness, particularly in the hands, wrists, and knees.
  • Morning stiffness lasting longer than 30 minutes.
  • Joint swelling, warmth, and redness.
  • Fatigue, fever, and loss of appetite.
  • Symmetrical symptoms (e.g., both wrists or both knees affected).

Possible Treatments

  1. Medications:
    • Disease-modifying antirheumatic Drugs (DMARDs): Such as methotrexate, to slow disease progression.
    • Biologic Agents: Targeted therapies that block specific components of the immune system.
    • Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): To relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
    • Corticosteroids: For rapid control of inflammation in severe cases.
  2. Physical Therapy:
    • Customized exercises to improve joint flexibility, strength, and overall function.
  3. Lifestyle Modifications:
    • Nutritional guidance to reduce inflammation.
    • Recommendations for joint-protective techniques in daily activities.
  4. Surgical Interventions:
    • Synovectomy: Removal of the inflamed synovial tissue.
    • Joint Replacement: In severe joint damage, replacement surgery can help restore function.

Final Results

Patients can achieve significant symptom relief and improved quality of life with early and appropriate intervention. The goals of our RA treatment program include:

  • Symptom Management: Reducing pain, inflammation, and joint stiffness.
  • Disease Control: Slowing or halting the progression of joint damage.
  • Improved Functionality: Enhancing joint mobility and physical activity levels.
  • Personalized Care: Tailoring treatment plans to individual needs for optimal results.
