Rheumatology

Rheumatology is focused on diagnosing and treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that primarily affect the joints, muscles, and connective tissues. Rheumatologists manage a range of conditions, including Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Osteoarthritis, and Gout.  

Types of Procedures in Rheumatology

  • Joint Aspiration (Arthrocentesis): Involves using a needle to remove fluid from a swollen joint. The fluid is analysed to diagnose conditions like Gout, Arthritis, or infections, and can also relieve pressure and pain.
  • Joint Injection: Delivers medication directly into a joint to reduce inflammation and pain. This is often done with corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid to treat conditions such as Arthritis or Bursitis.
  • Muscle Biopsy: A procedure where a small sample of muscle tissue is removed and examined to diagnose conditions like Polymyositis or Dermatomyositis.
  • Arthroscopy: A minimally invasive surgical procedure where a small camera and instruments are inserted into a joint through tiny incisions. It is used to diagnose and treat joint problems such as torn ligaments or cartilage damage.
  • Ultrasound Imaging: Uses sound waves to create images of joints and soft tissues. It helps in diagnosing and assessing inflammation, fluid accumulation, and joint damage.
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Provides detailed images of joints, bones, and soft tissues using magnetic fields and radio waves. It is useful for diagnosing complex joint and soft tissue issues and assessing disease progression.
  • Bone Density Test (DEXA Scan): Measures bone mineral density to assess bone health and diagnose conditions like Osteoporosis, which can be related to inflammatory or autoimmune diseases.
  • Blood Tests: A variety of tests to detect markers of inflammation, autoimmune activity, or specific antibodies. Common tests include Rheumatoid Factor (RF), Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (Anti-CCP) antibodies, and Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA).
  • Synovial Biopsy: A procedure where a small sample of the synovial lining (the tissue lining the joint) is removed and examined to diagnose inflammatory or autoimmune joint diseases.
  • Genetic Testing: Performed in some cases to identify genetic markers associated with certain rheumatic diseases, such as Ankylosing Spondylitis or Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
