Inflammatory diseases
Systemic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases require clinical experience and close, well-organised follow-up.
Diseases such as spondyloarthritis, lupus, Sjögren's syndrome or vasculitis can affect the joints and other organs. Their diagnosis is not always straightforward and often requires integrating symptoms, examination and tests.
In consultation a global assessment is carried out to confirm or rule out these diseases and measure their activity, coordinating tests and, when appropriate, collaboration with other specialties.
Continuous follow-up allows treatment to be adjusted, disease activity to be monitored, and you to be supported day by day with clear information.
What to expect from the first visit
We go through your full history and symptoms across all systems, review the available test results and set out a clear study or follow-up plan, explained step by step.
Frequently asked questions
Which symptoms may point to a systemic inflammatory disease?
Joint pain with prolonged stiffness, marked tiredness, unexplained fever, skin lesions or persistent dryness of the eyes and mouth are signs that deserve specialist assessment.
My autoantibodies are positive — does that mean I have lupus?
Not necessarily. Some autoantibodies can be positive in healthy people. They must always be interpreted together with your symptoms and examination, in a specialist assessment.
Can these diseases be cured?
Most are chronic diseases, but with the right treatment many people achieve good disease control and a good quality of life. Each case is assessed individually.
