Systemic disorders of connective tissue in diseases classified elsewhere - what does this mean

Systemic disorders of connective tissue in diseases classified elsewhere are caused by an abnormal immune response that results in inflammation and damage to the connective tissue, which can affect the skin, joints, and internal organs. this can be caused by an infection, autoimmune disorder, or genetic disorder.

What happens during the disease - systemic disorders of connective tissue in diseases classified elsewhere

Systemic disorders of connective tissue in diseases classified elsewhere results from a systemic inflammatory response to an underlying infection or autoimmune disease. this inflammation leads to damage of the connective tissue, which can lead to further tissue damage, organ dysfunction, and further systemic inflammation. the underlying cause of the inflammation must be identified and treated to prevent further damage to the connective tissue.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Physical examination
  • Laboratory tests (e.g. complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, antinuclear antibody, rheumatoid factor, complement levels)
  • Imaging tests (e.g. X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans)
  • Genetic testing
  • Tissue biopsy
  • Pulmonary function tests
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • Cardiac stress test

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To reduce inflammation and restore normal function of the connective tissue.
  • Administer medication to reduce inflammation.
  • Provide physical therapy to increase flexibility and range of motion.
  • Encourage lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise.
  • Monitor the patient's symptoms and adjust medication as needed.
