Types of arthritis include osteoarthritis (cartilage degradation), rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune inflammation), and gouty arthritis (uric acid crystal deposition).
Typen von Arthritis: Osteoarthritis: fortschreitende Krankheit. Gelenkknorpel (in Knie, Hüfte & Wirbeln) zerfallen mit der Zeit. Rheumatoide Arthritis: Autoimmunerkrankung. Gelenkmembran wird entzündet. Kann Gelenkverrenkung verursachen. Gicht: Stoffwechselstörung. *Natriumurat*-Kristalle werden aufgrund von Harnsäureansammlungen im Blut in Gelenken (besonders Zeh) abgelagert.
