Parent topics
- Rheumatology [r]: Medical specialty that deals with the study, diagnosis, and treatment of connective tissue diseases; a subspecialty of internal medicine [e]
- Immunology [r]: The study of all aspects of the immune system in all animals. [e]
- Connective tissue disease [r]: A heterogeneous group of disorders, some hereditary, others acquired, characterized by abnormal structure or function of one or more of the elements of connective tissue, i.e., collagen, elastin, or the mucopolysaccharides, and thus within the specialty of rheumatology; many involve autoimmunity [e]
Subtopics
Variants and comorbidities
- Central nervous system lupis [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Discoid lupus [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Drug-induced lupus [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Fibromyalgia [r]: Inflammation of the fibrous or connective tissue of the body, characterized by acute and debilitating widespread musculoskeletal pain. [e]
- Lupus nephritis [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Myositis [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Osteonecrosis [r]: Add brief definition or description
Diagnosis
- Human leukocyte antigen [r]: Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases. [e]
- Anti-nuclear antibodies [r]: A class of antibodies, members of which are elevated in different autoimmune diseases; the anti-nuclear antibody test is a measurement of the class, complemented by more specific antibody assays [e]
- Anti-nuclear antibody test [r]: A screening test for autoimmune disease, especially systemic lupus erythematosus but also Sjögren's syndrome, scleroderma, etc.; results reported both as a quantitative titer and a qualitative staining pattern observed on immunofluorescence microscopy [e]
- Anti-single-stranded DNA antibodies [r]: Add brief definition or description (ssDNA)
- Anti-double-stranded DNA antibodies [r]: Add brief definition or description (dsDNA)
- Anti-Smith antibodies [r]: Antibodies to a nuclear non-histone protein, highly specific but not sensitive for systemic lupus erythematosus; closely related to anti-ribonucleoprotein antibodies [e]
- C-reactive protein [r]: Globulin that appears in the blood in certain acute inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatic fever, bacterial infections, and neoplastic diseases. [e]
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Recursive partitioning [r]: Add brief definition or description
Treatment
- Antimalarial [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Corticosteroid [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Danazol [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Dapsone [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Immunoglobulin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Immunosuppressant [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitor [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Thalidomide [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Tumor necrosis factor-alpha [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Mixed connective tissue disease [r]: Add brief definition or description
- HIV test [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Hypersensitivity [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Raynaud's disease [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Raynaud's phenomenon [r]: Add brief definition or description
