Rheumatology

Rheumatology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis and management of autoimmune, inflammatory, and musculoskeletal disorders affecting the joints, muscles, bones, connective tissues, and immune system. Many of these conditions occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, leading to pain, swelling, stiffness, inflammation, and potential organ involvement.

Rheumatic diseases can affect individuals of all ages and may involve multiple organ systems, including the skin, eyes, lungs, kidneys, and blood vessels. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are essential to prevent disease progression, preserve function, reduce disability, and improve quality of life.
