Journal of Autoimmune Disorders

Introduction

A person who is specialist in the non-surgical treatment of rheumatic illnesses and he is a physician who specializes in the field of medically called rheumatology. especially these people have special intrests in treating rash, fever, arthritis, anemia, weakness, weight loss, fatigue, joint or muscle pain, autoimmune disease, and anorexia

Some conditions affecting rheumatic condition are

Diagnosis By Rheumatologist Include

Inflammatory and muscle lo skeletal conditions

• Rheumatoid arthritis.[3]

• Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma)

• Spondyloarthropathies like ankylosing spondylitis.

• Myositis (Muscle inflammation)

• Gout and CPP arthritis

The Immune System And Its Link To Rheumatic Disease

Our immune system is a network of cells that protects us from infectious diseases and watches for damage to our own cells. Sometimes the system goes away and misreads signals. As a result, our immune system fails to recognize its own body and begins “attacking” its body. This leads to illnesses called autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.[4].

Drugs Used To Treat These Conditions Include

Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs and immune suppressive drugsand Some treatments are there to relieve pain ,swelling, fatigue .

These treatments are used to relieve from symptoms but no permanent cure. Blood tests that look like autoantibodies can help doctors diagnose these conditions[5].

Treatment For Auto Immune Disease

Bottom line

The treatment include medications that will bring down inflammation and calm the over active immune response

Auto antibody

Immune system in our body produces autoantibody a type of protein that is directed against one or more individuals own proteins many Many autoimmune diseases are caused by such autoantibodies.

Conclusion

A rheumatologist is a physician specialized to treat arthritis and other rheumatic diseases, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that can cause your immune system to attack its joints, muscles, bones, or organs.
