Arthritis:

  • It is caused by the inflammation of the joints. Some types of arthritis are described here:
    • Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): It is diagnosed by the presence of rheumatoid factor (a type of immunoglobulin IgM). Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammation of the synovial membrane in synovial joints.
    • Osteoarthritis: It is also called degenerative joint disease. It is the most common type of joint disease. It is characterized by the progressive erosion of articular cartilage in synovial joints.
    • Infectious Arthritis: These types of arthritis mostly occurs due to bacterial and viral infection and are called bacterial and viral arthritis respectively.
    • Gout and Gouty Arthritis: This disease is due to a defect in purine metabolism that causes an excess of uric acid and its salts (urates). The level of uric acid is raised in the blood and crystals of its salts (e.g., sodium urate) accumulate in the joints resulting in gouty arthritis.
