Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become fragile and brittle, leading to a higher risk of fractures (breaks or cracks) than in normal bone.
RA is an auto imune disease that leads to the distruction of the soft tiseu in joints eventualy leading to the joints becoming imobilised and deformed.
these two are entirely different conditions.
Osteoartritis is a condition in which cartelage in joints has become damaged as a reult of trauma or wear ant tear. leading to joint disfunction, pain, and eventualy weakening of the muscles around that joint.
Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become fragile and brittle, leading to a higher risk of fractures (breaks or cracks) than in normal bone.
Osteoporosis is the result of bones losing minerals like calcium, faster than they can be replaced. This leads to a loss of bone thickness (bone mass or density).The result of this is that bones become thinner and less dense. This in turn leads to situations wher even a minor bump or accident can cause serious fractures. These are known as fragility or minimal trauma fractures.
Osteoporosis is a degeneration of already constructed bone, this causes a decrease in the bone matrix volume, or holes in the bone, making the bones brittle.
Osteomalacia is an abnormality in bone building. There is a lack of Calcium and/or Phosphorus either from the diet or from lack of sunlight/Vitamin D. The bone matrix does not change, however it results in soft bone.
There are over a hundred different forms of arthritis that seem to be associated with anything from from infections to wear and tear to autoimmune reactions and chemical imbalances in the blood. Here are examples of three of them.
Arthritis comes in over a hundred different forms. However when referring to rheumatoid arthritis a blood test is done the checks for rheumatoid factor (RF). In about 70to 80% of cases rheumatoid arthritis will be accompanied by a positive RF. However in the rest of the cases where all indicators point to Rheumatoid arthritis and where no RF is found it is referred to a seronegative rheumatoid arthritis.
No
When your heart doesn't function you can't feel the effects of rheumatoid arthritis.
Between 2 to 3% of them have Rheumatoid arthritis
No
There is not difference between arthritis and rheumatoid. Rheumatoid arthritis is a form of arthritis.There is a difference between osteoarthritis (the main form of arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is caused by wear and tear or trauma to a joint. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where your immune system begins to attack your joints.
Sometimes causes lung disease in People who have had rheumatoid arthritis for an extended period of time.those between the ages of 50 and 60 seem to be the most likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis-related lung disease. Occasionally, however, lung problems surface before the joint inflammation and pain of rheumatoid arthritis.
For one thing Seronegative spondyloarthropathy shows a negative rheumatoid factor.
Ankylosing spondylitis is a form of arthritis that primarily affects the joints between the vertebrae.
The exact cause for Rheumatoid arthritisis not known however there seems to be no known connection between Spina Bifida and Rheumatoid arthritis. Spina Bifida seems to be caused by a deficiency of folic acid during pregnancy, while arthritis is an auto-immune disease. As people age, though, they are prone to developing arthritis in overused joints.
If you are commenting on whether or atmospheric condition there is no relationship between the weather altitude or humidity and the symptoms of RA At least none that have been scientifically proven.
