Psoriatic arthritis belongs to a group of arthritis conditions that can cause inflammation of the spine (spondyloarthropathies).
People with psoriatic arthritis can develop inflammation of tendons, cartilage, eyes, lung lining and rarely the aorta.
The arthritis of psoriatic arthritis is treated independently of the psoriasis.
Types of Psoriatic Arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis is an autoimmune disease that affects the joints and skin when healthy tissue is attacked by our immune system. There are five types of this condition.
1. Symmetric Psoriatic Arthritis
This form of psoriatic arthritis directly affects joints on both sides of the body, similar to rheumatoid arthritis. It is estimated 50% of patients are diagnosed with this type.
2. Asymmetric Psoriatic Arthritis
This version is not present in the same joints on opposite sides of the body at the same time. This affects 35% of psoriatic arthritis patients.
3. Distal Psoriatic Arthritis
This type directly targets the ends of your fingers and toes with inflammation and stiffness. Your nails can also have white spots, pitting, and separate from the nail bed.
4. Spondylitis
This form of psoriatic arthritis refers to pain and stiffness in the neck and spine regions.
5. Arthritis Mutilans
This condition affects five percent of patients with the classification of being the most severe form as it causes abnormalities with the toes and fingers smallest joints. It can result in destroying the end joints of the digits.
What Causes Psoriatic Arthritis?
There is no concrete single cause for this condition. It can be caused by the immune system failing, environmental factors, genetic traits, or a combination of these and from mineral imbalance in body said Dr Qaisar Ahmed MD, DHMS.
Some studies show a family gene may be responsible for the reason 40% of patients have family members who are also diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. There is research linking a trigger such as an infection as a possible connection for those relations at risk. This has led researchers to suggest there may be various infections involved such as psoriasis bacteria (which I Dr Qaisar Ahmed think is “Staphylococcus”).
For others, the psoriatic arthritis presents itself after an infliction from an injury or accident directly to a joint. It is thought the stressed and overworked immune system begins attacking the joint tissues. Again, this seems to happen in those with a genetic risk.
The immune system of those with reduced helper T cells, such as in HIV and AIDS patients, seems to be involved with symptoms of psoriatic arthritis as well.
Symptoms
As a chronic disease, psoriatic arthritis can also present symptoms that appear to improve and sometimes disappear for periods at a time before returning. The symptoms may be mild or more severe each time they reappear.
1. Skin Rash
As it is directly linked to the skin condition psoriasis, in most cases, you may develop flaky, thick, red skin surrounding silver-white scaly skin patches.
2. Swollen Digits
Your fingers and toes can swell to resemble sausages with severe pain as the joints and tendons become inflamed. Some patients will present with hand and foot deformities long before the joints are directly affected.
3. Nail Changes
You may see changes in your toenails and fingernails such as discoloration, thickening, and pitting.
4. Foot Pain
Pain can appear on the heel and sole of feet where the tendons and ligaments meet the bone.
5. Stiffness
The range of motion is reduced and ability to move your joints easily may be tampered with stiffness and accompanying pain.
6. Back Pain
Pain in the lower back is a sign of spondylitis, caused by psoriatic arthritis. The joints of your vertebrae and in between the spine and pelvis become inflamed.
Fatigue
Psoriatic arthritis can cause fatigue from the physical and emotional exhaustion of dealing with the disease.
According to allopathic research focusing on mainly the joints and skin tissue, psoriatic arthritis does not directly target any vital organs. However, it can cause inflammation of the eye. This painful condition, known as uveitis, affects the front of your eye and calls for immediate medical attention; But I (Dr Qaisar Ahmed) think that psoriatic arthritis attacks heart, kidneys, liver, large intestine and reproductive organs in female only.
Diagnosis
Expect your doctor to put you through a series of tests to rule out other types of arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis and the condition of gout. This will include examining your nails for discoloration and pitting and your joints for any tenderness and swelling. The soles of your feet will also be checked for tenderness.
Other tests may look for joint, tendons, and ligaments issues by using X-rays and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).
Lab tests are used to detect psoriatic arthritis. Checking for the RA-Factor (rheumatoid factor) in the blood will distinguish between the similar symptoms of the two conditions of psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. By removing joint fluid with a needle, your doctor will test for any signs of uric acid crystals, which reflect the condition of gout rather than psoriatic arthritis.
Allopathic Medications for Psoriatic Arthritis
A variety of prescribed and OTC (over the counter) drugs can be used as treatment for psoriatic arthritis.
- Immunosuppressants help to control the immune system, which functions abnormally during psoriatic arthritis. Azathioprine and cyclosporine drugs can put you at higher risk for other infection too.
- Disease modifying antirheumatic drugs, or DMARDs, aid in reducing the progression of the condition by prevent further damage to the tissues and joints. These include methotrexate, leflunomide, and sulfasalazine. They may have the side effects of lung infections, liver damage, and bone marrow suppression.
- TNF alpha inhibitors stimulate our body’s production of the inflammatory matter of TNF alpha. Etanercept, infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab, and certolizumab all reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness. Side effects can include hair loss, nausea, diarrhea, and increase your risk for infections.
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, known as NSAIDs, suppress inflammation and mild pain. You can purchase ibuprofen and naproxen sodium pills at your local pharmacy. Your doctor may need to prescribe NSAIDs for more severe pain. NSAIDs have side effects of heart issues, liver and kidney damage, kidney failure, and stomach irritation/acidity/gastritis etc.
There have been introductions of medication to the market recently such as apremilast, ustekinumab, and secukinumab but with the same and even more severe side effects.
Other options your allopathic doctor may offer include steroid injections to reduce inflammation and joint replacement surgery. This surgery replaces damaged joints with metal or plastic artificial prostheses.
