Kreuzschmerzen aus rheumatologischer Sicht

Kreuzschmerzen sind das führende Symptom einer Gruppe entzündlich-rheumatischer Erkrankungen, die unter dem Überbegriff „Spondyloarthritiden“ zusammengefasst werden. Der vorliegende Beitrag diskutiert die wesentlichen klinischen, labormedizinischen und bildgebenden Merkmale der Spondyloarthritiden im differenzialdiagnostischen Kontext der Kreuzschmerzen und beleuchtet die aktuellen Therapieprinzipien der axialen Spondyloarthritis.

Abstract

Low back pain is the leading symptom of a family of inflammatory rheumatic diseases grouped under the umbrella term „spondyloarthritides“. This paper discusses the main clinical, laboratory, and imaging features of spondyloarthritides in the diagnostic context of low back pain. It also highlights the current therapeutic principles of axial spondyloarthritis.
