Arthropathy in ulcerative colitis - what does this mean

Arthropathy in ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory joint condition that is caused by inflammation of the large intestine, which can lead to joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. it is usually seen in patients with long-standing ulcerative colitis, and is more common in men than women.

What happens during the disease - arthropathy in ulcerative colitis

Arthropathy in ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory arthritis that is caused by an immune-mediated reaction in which the body's own immune system mistakenly attacks the joints and surrounding tissues. the inflammation of the joints and tissues is caused by an overactive immune response to the bacteria and other toxins in the gut that have spread to the joints. this leads to joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, as well as decreased mobility and range of motion.
