Rheumatology

In many cases, rheumatologic diseases affect not only the connective tissue within the musculoskeletal system but also lead to progressive changes in internal organs, which can be life-threatening. The causes of rheumatologic diseases are not fully understood. In most cases, they result from autoimmune disorders (including the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines and excessive production of certain antibodies); their development may also be influenced by previous bacterial and viral infections, as well as injuries.

Pediatric rheumatology – support for young patients

A very specialized field within rheumatology is pediatric rheumatology, focused on diagnosing and treating rheumatologic diseases in children and adolescents – these are not conditions exclusive to older adults.

At Wilmed Clinic, the pediatric rheumatologist assists young patients struggling with, among others, juvenile spondyloarthropathies, which are chronic inflammatory joint diseases mainly affecting the spine but also, for example, the sacroiliac joints. These include:

• arthritis associated with enthesitis,
• juvenile ankylosing spondylitis,
• juvenile psoriatic arthritis,
• reactive arthritis.

We provide our patients with care from experienced specialists, comprehensive access to diagnostics (blood and urine laboratory tests, ultrasound of soft tissues, magnetic resonance imaging of joints and spine, computed tomography of spine and joints), and modern treatment methods!
