Definition & Pathophysiology of the following Disease Processes/Comorbidities (in your own words): Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) RA is an autoimmune chronic inflammatory disorder that affects many joints including those in the hand and feet and with an unknown cause. In RA, the body’s immune system attacks the lining of the joint capsule, a tough membrane that encloses all the joint parts. This lining (synovial membrane) becomes inflamed and swollen. The disease process can eventually destroy cartilage and bone within the joint Osteoarthritis (OA) It is a degenerative joint disease or “wear and tear” and most common form of arthritis that affects joints in hands, knees, hips, and spine. There is no cure, but the symptoms can be changed. Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions the end of bones in the joints gradually deteriorates. The cartilage is a firm slippery tissue that enables nearly frictionless joint motion. If the cartilage wears down completely, the bone will rub on bone Thrombophlebitis Thrombophlebitis is an inflammatory process that causes a blood clot to form and block one or more veins, usually in the legs or arm and causes pain. The thrombus in the vein causes pain and irritation and may block flow in the veins |
