Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a systemic disease with significant extraskeletal effects impacting patient prognosis. This review details AS systemic manifestations, covering pathogenesis, clinical features, and treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Immunology
  • Systemic Autoimmune Diseases

Background:

  • Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is the primary condition within seronegative spondylarthropathies.
  • AS is increasingly recognized as a systemic illness, not solely confined to the axial skeleton.
  • Extraskeletal manifestations significantly impact the overall prognosis and quality of life for AS patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the principal systemic manifestations of ankylosing spondylitis.
  • To elucidate the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying these extraskeletal complications.
  • To outline the clinical presentation and therapeutic strategies for managing systemic AS.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of systemic manifestations in ankylosing spondylitis.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of pathogenetic pathways involved in extraskeletal involvement.
  • Synthesis of clinical data and treatment guidelines.

    • Main Results:

    • AS involves diverse extraskeletal systems, including cardiovascular, pulmonary, and ocular.
    • Inflammatory and autoimmune processes contribute to systemic disease progression.
    • Early recognition and management of systemic features are crucial for patient outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Ankylosing spondylitis necessitates a comprehensive, systemic approach to patient care.
    • Understanding extraskeletal manifestations is key to improving long-term prognosis in AS.
    • Integrated therapeutic strategies are essential for managing the multifaceted nature of AS.
