Other polyarthrosis - what does this mean
Other polyarthrosis is a collective term for a group of diseases that cause inflammation in multiple joints, resulting in pain, swelling, and stiffness. these diseases can be caused by autoimmune disorders, infections, or trauma, and can affect any joint in the body.
What happens during the disease - other polyarthrosis
Other polyarthrosis is a broad term used to describe any type of joint inflammation that affects multiple joints in the body. it is typically caused by a variety of factors, including infection, trauma, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic disorders. the exact pathogenesis of the condition is not fully understood, however, it is believed to involve an abnormal immune response resulting in the release of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and chemokines. these inflammatory mediators then trigger an inflammatory cascade, leading to the destruction of articular cartilage and synovial tissue, resulting in pain, swelling, and loss of mobility in affected joints.
