Common risk factors that predisposes septic arthritis include [[rheumatoid arthritis]], [[Prosthetic|prosthetic joint]] or [[joint replacement]] and skin infections. Other risk factors may include recent history of [[bacteremia]], [[cirrhosis]],[[chronic kidney disease]],[[hypogammaglobulinemia]],[[systemic lupus erythematosis]], [[gout]], [[pseudogout|psuedogout]], and [[charcot joint|charcot's arthropathy]]. | |||

Overview
Common risk factors that predisposes septic arthritis include rheumatoid arthritis, prosthetic joint or joint replacement and skin infections. Other risk factors may include recent history of bacteremia, cirrhosis,chronic kidney disease,hypogammaglobulinemia,systemic lupus erythematosis, gout, psuedogout, and charcot's arthropathy.
Risk Factors
