You must know that arthritis not only affects adults but is also seen in children. The form that affects children is known as idiopathic juvenile arthritis. This is what we are going to discuss in the post. 

Arthritis is a condition that affects the cartilage in our joints. Cartilage protects our joints from impacts. If we talk about adults, wear & tear in cartilages over time is the cause of arthritis. Whereas in the case of juvenile arthritis, hereditary and environmental factors may cause juvenile arthritis. 

Arthritis has no cure, and the treatment is only provided to improve symptoms and the quality of life. In most severe cases, surgery to repair or replace the joint is performed.

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis – An Overview

Juvenile arthritis is a common joint problem that affects children below 16 years of age. This form of arthritis can cause persistent joint pain along with swelling and stiffness. In certain cases, several severe complications may also occur. 

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis can affect one or many joints at a time. The diagnosis of the condition is not easy, and it requires experience along with multiple diagnostic tests to confirm the condition.

  • Joint pain that is commonly experienced in the morning or after a nap

  • Swelling in joints commonly the knee joint

  • Joint stiffness

Causes of Idiopathic Juvenile Arthritis

Juvenile arthritis occurs when the immune system starts attacking its body and damaging cells and tissues. The reason for this is not known but hereditary and environmental factors are believed to play a role. 

Diagnosis of Idiopathic Juvenile Arthritis

Many problems may cause joint pain in children and hence, the diagnosis of juvenile arthritis is not easy. Multiple diagnostic tests to confirm the condition and rule out other possibilities are required. Several blood tests that may be ordered include:

  • Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)

  • C-reactive Protein

  • Antinuclear Antibody

  • Rheumatoid Factor

  • Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (CCP)

To exclude other conditions, an X-ray examination may also be performed. An x-ray report may confirm fractures, tumors, congenital defects, or infections. In many cases of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, blood tests may not show any significant abnormality. 

Treatment of Idiopathic Juvenile Arthritis

The treatment of juvenile arthritis is provided to improve the quality of the physical and social life of the child. Arthritis has no cure, only its symptoms can be managed with the treatment provided.

Medicines like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs are prescribed to improve symptoms. In certain cases, biologic agents like tumor necrosis factor, and corticosteroids are recommended.
