Overview
Enteropathic arthropathy or Enteropathic arthritis refers to acute or subacute arthritis in association with or as a reaction to an enteric (usually colonic) inflammatory condition.
Classification
- Axial
- Peripheral arthritis
- Type I Arthropathy
- Less than five joints involved
- Acute
- Less than 10 weeks
- Asymmetrical
- Shoulder, hips and knee joints are involved
- Type II Arthropathy
- More than five joints involved
- Chronic
- Months to years
- Symmetrical
- Small joints are involved.
Pathophysiology
Risk factors
