There are about 200 rheumatological diseases, such as: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, osteoporosis, rheumatic polymyalgia, etc. Additionally, rheumatology includes systemic diseases such as: scleroderma, various types of vasculitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, poly- and dermatomyositis, Sjögren's syndrome, and more.
Most of the mentioned diseases are chronic conditions for which the rheumatologist is responsible. Timely detection and diagnosis of these diseases are crucial for successful treatment, improving the patient's quality of life, and achieving sustained remission.
