Rheumatoid Arthritis
This is a chronic inflammatory disorder that occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body’s tissues, ultimately causing damage to your body systems. Rheumatoid arthritis affects the lining of your joints, which then results in painful swelling that may cause bone erosion or joint deformity. This condition can be treated through medications and if there has been joint damage, surgery.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
This is the most common type of lupus. It’s an autoimmune disease wherein the immune system attacks its own tissues, causing inflammation and tissue damage in the affected organs. SLE can range from mild to life-threatening and when identified, it should be treated right away.
These autoimmune diseases can affect the lives of patients severely. If they are not identified right away, they could lead to more severe effects on the body system, causing health complications. Visit our physician today to get the treatment you need to manage your condition.
