summary

Later, she even felt some pain in her leg, and realized that arthritis might appear. Now let me tell you what to do for psoriasis and arthritis.

What examination should psoriasis arthritis do

First, the X-ray examination of psoriatic arthritis showed swelling of soft tissue around the distal joints of fingers and toes in the early stage, destruction of articular surface bone, and slightly widening of joint space. Bone erosion usually starts from the marginal part of the joint and gradually expands to the central part; it is often accompanied by varying degrees of bone hyperplasia, but usually without osteoporosis.

Second, there is no specific laboratory test for psoriatic arthritis. The positive rate of rheumatoid factor was not higher than that of normal people. In general, immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin A (IGA) can be increased, while immunoglobulin M (IgM) can be decreased. Circulating immune complexes in about half of patients can be increased, mainly immunoglobulin A (IGA). Human leukocyte antigen-B27 (HLA-B27) can be positive.

Third: whether psoriatic arthritis needs to be examined, such as X-ray, CT or MRI. If there is joint disease, it needs to be treated as soon as possible, because it is a disabling disease. The above examinations are non-specific and can not be used to diagnose arthritis.
