Circulating Protein Fragments of Cartilage and Connective Tissue Degradation Are Diagnostic and Prognostic Markers of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis

This chapter describes the anaesthetic management of the patient with those musculoskeletal disorders which are relevant to anaesthetic practice. Topics covered include rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); systemic sclerosis; scoliosis and achondroplasia. For each topic, pre-operative investigation and optimisation, treatment, and anaesthetic management are described.

Proven Efficacy

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is considered as a connective tissue disease while ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a prototype of spondyloarthritis. These diseases are seen concomitantly only very rarely. Also, rituximab has proven efficacy in the treatment of RA while its role in the treatment of AS is unclear. In this presentation, the concomitant presence of RA and AS in a 43-year-old male patient as well as the efficacy and safety of rituximab is discussed. Rituximab was given due to lack of response to treatment with anti-TNF-alpha. Evaluations made at the 6th and 12th months of treatment showed complete response for RA and partial response for AS.
