Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects both the skin and joints. It occurs in individuals who have psoriasis, a chronic skin disease characterized by red, scaly patches on the skin. PsA typically develops after the onset of psoriasis, although in some cases, joint symptoms may precede the appearance of skin lesions.
Psoriatic arthritis can affect any joint in the body, leading to pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. The severity of symptoms can vary widely, ranging from mild to severe. In addition to joint involvement, PsA can also cause inflammation in other areas such as the entheses (where tendons or ligaments attach to bones) and the spine.

The exact causes of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are not fully understood. However, it is believed to be a multifactorial condition influenced by a combination of genetic, immune system, and environmental factors. Here are some potential factors that may contribute to the development of PsA:
Psoriatic arthritis does not have a specific preference for any particular joint. It can affect any joint in the body, with no limitation or exclusion.
Psoriatic arthritis is characterized by inflammation, swelling, and deformity in the affected joints. Additionally, skin manifestations of psoriasis may be present in the joint areas. Many patients with psoriatic arthritis also experience changes in their nails.
Psoriatic arthritis does not affect all individuals with psoriasis. The likelihood of developing psoriatic arthritis is estimated to be around 10-15%, meaning that not every case of psoriasis will lead to psoriatic arthritis. It is not a universal rule, and the presence of psoriasis does not guarantee the development of psoriatic arthritis.
Yes, Psoriatic Arthritis can cause joint deformities, such as swelling, stiffness, and changes in joint structure, leading to reduced range of motion and functional impairment.
Both men and women can be at risk of developing psoriatic arthritis, but studies suggest that men are more likely to develop it at an earlier age, while women tend to be affected later in life. The exact reasons for this gender difference are not fully understood.
