[size=4][b]Kidney Stones - Various Types of Arthritis[/b][/size][hr]
Quote:Arthritis is a disease that causes pain and loss of movement of the joints. Joint pain is referred to as arthralgia. Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in people over the age of 55. The causes of arthritis depend on the form of arthritis. Causes include injury (leading to osteoarthritis), abnormal metabolism (such as gout and pseudogout), inheritance, infections, and for unclear reasons (such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus). There are many forms of arthritis .There are about 200 different kinds of arthritis. The most common type is osteoarthritis (or degenerative arthritis), where the cartilage that protects the bones gets worn away. This makes joints stiff, painful and creaky. About 5 million people in the UK have osteoarthritis. OA is a chronic degenerative arthropathy that frequently leads to chronic pain and disability. With the aging of our population, this condition is becoming increasing prevalent and its treatment increasingly financially burdensome. Using radiographic criteria, the distal and proximal interphalangeal joints of the hand have been identified as the joints most commonly affected by OA, but they are the least likely to be symptomatic. Age is the most consistently identified risk factor for OA, regardless of the joint being studied. Prevalence rates for both radiographic OA and, to a lesser extent, symptomatic OA rise steeply after age 50 in men and age 40 in women. Occupation-related repetitive injury and physical trauma contribute to the development of secondary (non-idiopathic) OA, sometimes occurring in joints that are not affected by primary (idiopathic) OA, such as the metacarpophalangeal joints, wrists and ankles.

[size=large][b]Septic Arthritis[/b][/size][hr]Also known is Pyogenic arthritis. Septic arthritis is infection, usually bacterial, in the joint cavity. Septic arthritis usually affects just one joint, though occasionally it may occur in more than one joint at a time. It is the most dangerous form of acute arthritis. The joint cavity is usually a sterile space, with synovial fluid and cellular matter including a few white blood cells. Many different types of bacteria (germs) can cause septic arthritis. Infection with a bacterium called Staph. aureus is the most common cause. Septic arthritis is inflammation of a synovial membrane with purulent effusion into the joint capsule, usually due to bacterial infection. This disease entity also is referred to in the literature as bacterial, suppurative, purulent, or infectious arthritis. The most common bacterial isolates in native joints include gram-positive cocci, with S. aureus found in 40% to 50% of the cases. Septic arthritis is uncommon from age 3 to adolescence. Children with septic arthritis are more likely than adults to be infected with group B streptococcus and Haemophilus influenza. Young children and older adults are most likely to develop septic arthritis. As the population ages, doctors are finding that septic arthritis is becoming more common. Symptoms of septic arthritis occur suddenly and are characterized by severe pain, swelling in the affected joint along with acute pain. Chills and fever are also common symptoms. Chronic septic arthritis (which occurs less frequently) is caused by organisms such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Candida albicans. The knee and the hip are the most commonly infected joints.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is traditionally considered a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disorder. Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when the body's defence mechanisms go into action when there's no threat and start attacking the joints and sometimes other parts of the body. RA affects 1 million Americans, or about 1% of the adult population in the United States. This disease is 2 to 3 times more common in women than in men, and generally affects people between the ages of 20 and However, young children can develop a form of RA called juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Two of the 100 types of arthritis are rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. There are specific symptoms, distinguishing characteristics, as well as overlapping symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Rheumatoid arthritis is an additive polyarthritis, with the sequential addition of involved joints, in contrast to the migratory or evanescent arthritis of systemic lupus erythematosus or the episodic arthritis of gout. Occasionally, patients experience an explosive polyarticular onset occurring over 24 to 48 hours. Morning stiffness, persisting more than one hour but often lasting several hours, may be a feature of any inflammatory arthritis but is especially characteristic of rheumatoid arthritis. Its duration is a useful gauge of the inflammatory activity of the disease. Penetration into the world of Gout proved to be our idea in this article. Read the article and see if we have succeeded in this or not!

[size=large][b]Psoriatic Arthritis is Related to the Skin Condition Psoriasis[/b][/size][hr]It occurs more commonly in patients with tissue type HLA-B There are five clinical patterns of psoriatic arthritis. First is Asymmetrical mono- and oligoarticular arthritis (30-50% of cases) is the most common presentation of psoriatic arthritis. Second is symmetrical polyarticular arthritis (30-50% of cases) is ultimately the most common form of psoriatic arthritis. Third is distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint involvement (25% of cases) is nearly always associated with nail manifestationsm. Fourth is Arthritis mutilans is affects less than 5% of patients and is a severe, deforming and destructive arthritis. This condition can progress over months or years causing severe joint damage. Fifth is Axial arthritis (30-35% of cases) may be different in character from ankylosing spondylitis, the prototypical HLA-B27-associated spondyloarthropathy. It may present as sacro-iliitis, which may be asymmetrical and asymptomatic, or spondylitis, which may occur without sacro-iliitis and may affect any level of the spine in "skip" fashion. Genetic factors appear to play an important role. There is a 70% concordance for psoriasis in monozygotic twins. There is a 50-fold increased risk of developing psoriatic arthritis in first-degree relatives of patients with the disease. Environmental factors have been implicated. Streptococcal infection can precipitate the development of guttate psoriasis. HIV infection can present with both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, as well as worsen existing disease. We consider that we have only touched the perimeter of information available on Kidney Stones. There is still a lot more to be learnt!

[size=large][b]Gout is One of the Most Painful Types of Arthritis[/b][/size][hr]Gout was once incorrectly thought to be a disease of the rich and famous, caused by consuming too much rich food and fine wine. Gout is a disease due to a congenital disorder of uric acid metabolism. Uric acid is produced when purines are broken down by enzymes in the liver. Purines can be generated by the body itself (via the breakdown of cells in normal cellular turnover) or can be ingested in purine-rich foods (e.g. seafood, beer). Gout usually attacks the big toe (approximately 75% of first attacks), however it can also affect other joints such as the ankle, heel, instep, knee, wrist, elbow, fingers, and spine. In some cases the condition may appear in the joints of the small toes which have become immobile due to impact injury earlier in life, causing poor blood circulation that leads to gout. Chronic gout can lead to deposits of hard lumps of uric acid in and around the joints, decreased kidney function, and kidney stones. An acute attack of gout is a highly inflammatory arthritis often with intense swelling, redness and warmth surrounding the joint. The inflammatory component is so intense, an acute attack of gout is often mistaken for a bacterial cellulitis. Gout and baking soda: how to heal gout trouble with anti-inflammatory drugs. Corticosteroids (also called steroids), may be prescribed for people who cannot take NSAIDs. Steroids also work by decreasing inflammation. Steroids can be injected into the affected joint or given as pills. Colchicine is often used to treat gout and usually begins working within a few hours of taking it. Perhaps you may not have been interested in this passage on Arthritis Gout. In that case, please don't spread this feedback around!

Gout is a problem that develops after a long period of increase of uric acid crystals in the joints and surroundings tissues. Unwanted symptoms are developed because of gout.

Other symptoms of gout include pain during the night and repeatedly and rapid increase of discomfort lasting for some hours, followed by an easing of the pain in the next days.

We also have to mention that pseudogout is a problem that affects the joints too. It is a disease in which calcium deposits in and around the joints.

We take pride in saying that this article on Gout Treatment is like a jewel of our articles. This article has been accepted by the general public as a most informative article on Gout Treatment.

As most of the health problems gout symptoms are related to other medical conditions.

Unlike gout rheumatoid arthritis often occurs in hips and shoulders which are usually spared in gout. The symptoms are about the same in osteoarthritis too. An infected joint cause's similar symptom with gout but the treatment involves intravenous antibiotics and hospitalization.

[size=large][b]The Most Common Affection is the Big Toe Joint Problem[/b][/size][hr]Even is this affection is noticed in most of the cases it is not excluded that other joints of the feet, ankles, knees, wrists, fingers or elbows to be affected too. We have omitted irrelevant information from this composition on Uric Acid as we though that unnecessary information may make the reader bored of reading the composition.

Gout is a disease that may lead to purplish skin around the affected joint. It may look as an infected area. Fever is another possible symptom developed because of gout. Another problem surely is the limited mobility of the affected joints. It is not necessary that only the learned can write about Gout Diet. As long as one ahs a flair for writing, and an interest for gaining information on Gout Diet, anyone can write about it. Wink

[size=large][b]Gout Symptoms May Vary from Case to Case[/b][/size][hr]In some cases gout symptoms may occur after an illness or after a surgery. Cases of people developing rare painful attacks are known but it is also known that people might develop chronic gout even if they do not experience often painful attacks. We have taken the privilege of proclaiming this article to be a very informative and interesting article on Uric Acid Crystals Joints. We now give you the liberty to proclaim it too.

By the time people notice the symptoms of gout attackthe uric acid has surely been building up in their blood and had also deposit in one or more of their joints. Inspiration can be considered to be one of the key ingredients to writing. Only if one is inspired, can one get to writing on any subject especially like Www Gout.

[size=large][b]Gout is Also Known as Crystal-Induced Arthritis[/b][/size][hr]It is a medical condition that sets in when uric acid crystals collect on the joints. At the first stage, gout usually affects the large joints in the big toe. Gradually it can spread to other parts of the body, like the ankles, the instep, the heels and the knees, the wrists and fingers of the hand and the elbows. In severe cases, even the shoulders, hips or spine can be affected. Gout does not spread from one joint to the next. Uric acid is a metabolic end product that is formed at the time the body breaks down purines present in certain food items. In normal conditions, the uric acid gets dissolved in the blood and gets eliminated from the body through the kidneys into the urine. However, people having a propensity for gout have such high levels of uric acid in their blood that the acid precipitates out in the form of crystals. The crystals get accumulated on the joints and other tissues, leading to inflammation and excruciating pain. A chronic condition can lead to the formation of tophi lumps formed under the skin due to large deposits on severely affected joints of the elbow, fingers and toes, and even on the external pinna.

[size=large][b]Arthritis that Develops in 1 Day[/b][/size][hr]Attack of arthritis in only one joint, usually the toe, ankle, or knee A painful joint that is swollen, red, and warm Saying that all that is written here is all there is on Purine would be an understatement.

The information becomes more interesting as the deeper you venture into the composition.

[list][*]Another medical condition, referred to as the pseudo-gout, results from the deposits of calcium-based crystals in the joints.[*]In almost 90 percent of incidences of gout, men over the age of 40 and menopausal women are affected.[*]An "episode" often takes place during the night.[*]Within 12 to 24 hours of the onset, the afflicted joint becomes severely inflamed and starts to ache rigorously.[*]The gout attack usually lasts about five to 10 days.[/list]

In the event of encountering throbbing pain on the part of your joints, you might immediately think of it as arthritis. Yet studies now declared a condition that has long been related to arthritis which is known as gout. On the whole, gout occurs when uric acid crystals build up in your joints, thus it is otherwise known as uric acid crystal-triggered arthritis. Symptoms of gout usually become apparent in the joint of the large toe, but it may perhaps appear in the foot, wrist, hand, elbow, ankle and knee; though there are exceptional incidents where gout is found on the shoulders spine or even hips. This illness is normally localized meaning it does not spread from one joint to another. Wink

Inflammation of the affected joints, pain and redness of the area where the gout is, stiffness in the affected joint and swelling around it is also possible. Other symptoms of gout can be found throughout the body, and this may include pain and swelling in other areas such as: big toe, ball of the foot, arch of the foot, ankle, knee, knuckle, wrist, elbow and hip. Some of the most precise signs that gout has already taken place are: gouty arthritis, skin lumps, arthritis attacks which are can rapidly become apparent and the recurrent attack of arthritis.

It has been pretty exceptional that its symptoms appear in two to three joints all at the same time, when this happens it could no longer be classified as gout. But if these symptoms are left untreated, chances are it would permanently damage your joints which might eventually lead to disability.

Gout can sometimes be bemused with pseudogout which is another condition only with similar symptoms. However, with pseudogout its cause has been rooted to the formation of crystals made of calcium, not uric acid thus may involve special approach in treatment.
