Systemic Arthritis

This fluid also allows the joints to move without pain.

That said, systemic arthritis can affect the hands, feet, shoulders, knees, elbows or wrists. As well as they appear when the immune system of the patient goes out of control. Therefore, it causes a cascade of reactions that lead to the exaggerated production of a substance called cytosine. This substance causes inflammation of the joints, which leads to pain and stiffness, and then deformation of the joint. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Systemic arthritis can be a generalized disease

On the Verywell Health website, Doctor  Grant Hughes tells us how arthritis can affect the whole body: "Fever, fatigue, weakness, anemia, nodules, dry eyes, dry mouth, pulmonary fibrosis, pleural effusion (excessive fluid in the lungs), nerve problems, gastrointestinal complications, skin complications and kidney disease are examples of extra-articular involvement. . This is just a sample of a more comprehensive list of possible systemic effects that can occur with arthritis and associated rheumatic diseases. In fact, extra-articular manifestations can develop even when there is little active joint involvement."

What is systemic rheumatoid arthritis?

In addition to joint swelling, the systemic form of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by fever and a pale pink rash. It can also affect internal organs such as the heart, liver, spleen and lymph nodes. The systemic form, sometimes called Still's disease, affects 20% of children with JRA. A small percentage of children develop arthritis in many joints and may have severe arthritis that continues into adulthood.
