What is Ankylosing Spondylitis

Ankylosing spondylitis is a form of chronic inflammation of the spine and the sacroiliac joints. The sacroiliac joints are located in the low back where the sacrum (the bone directly above the tailbone) meets the iliac bones (bones on either side of the upper buttocks). Ankylosing spondylitis is also a systemic disease, meaning it can affect other tissues throughout the body. Ankylosing spondylitis is two to three times more common in males than in females. Ankylosing spondylitis is considered one of the many rheumatic diseases because it can cause symptoms involving muscles and joints.

1. Joint pain and joint swelling in the shoulders, knees, and ankles
2. Low-back pain that is worse at night, in the morning, or after inactivity
3. Fever, low grade
4. Stiffness and limited motion in the low back
5. Loss of appetite
6. Hip pain and stiffness
7. Limited expansion of the chest
8. Chronic stooping to relieve symptoms
9. Neck pain
10. Heel pain
11. Fatigue
12. Weight Loss

Causes of Ankylosing Spondylitis

Following are causes of Ankylosing Spondylitis :

• Genetics: It is believed that the factors for developing Ankylosing Spondylitis may run in families.
• HLA – B27: Most people who have ankylosing spondylitis also have a genetic marker known as human leukocyte antigen-B27 (HLA-B27).
• Ethnic Factors: Ankylosing spondylitis also appears to occur more among some ethnic groups than others.
• Triggering Factor: Ankylosing spondylitis may be triggered by certain types of bacterial or viral infections.
• Men and Women: Men develop ankylosing spondylitis about 3 times more often than women do. 

Risk factors of Ankylosing Spondylitis

• Age – It is usually diagnosed in young adults between age 20 and 30 years
• Sex – Ankylosing spondylitis is three times more common in males than in females.
• Heredity – Heredity may play a role in the development of ankylosing spondylitis.
• The presence of a gene called human leukocyte antigen-B27 (HLA-B27) may also increase the risk of developing ankylosing spondylitis

Complications of Ankylosing Spondylitis

Complications of Ankylosing Spondylitis may include:

• Breathing Problems
• Difficulty in walking and standing
• Eye Irritations
• Heart Trouble
• Diagnosis of Ankylosing Spondylitis

The diagnosis is usually made by the distinctive symptoms. However, it can be difficult for a doctor to confidently diagnose Ankylosing Spondylitis in the early stages of the disease as symptoms can develop very gradually. Until recently, the X-ray changes were the only way to confidently confirm Ankylosing Spondylitis. More recently, an MRI scan of the sacro-iliac joints has been used to confirm the diagnosis at an earlier stage. An MRI scancan give a much more detailed view of a joint than a traditional X-ray picture and can detect inflammation in the sacro-iliac joints.

Precautions & Prevention of Ankylosing Spondylitis

It’s not possible to prevent the disease because genetic factors appear to play a part in ankylosing spondylitis. Proper and early treatment can relieve joint pain and may help to prevent or delay the onset of physical deformities.
