At Nulife Hospital, we understand immunological and rheumatological disorders’ complexity and chronic nature. Some of the common conditions we treat include:

• Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disorder causing joint inflammation, pain, and deformity. This condition primarily impacts the lining of the joints, creating a painful swelling that can result in bone erosion and joint deformity.
• Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE): A chronic disease where the immune system attacks healthy tissue, affecting various body parts, including joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, heart, and lungs. Symptoms can vary widely, making diagnosing and managing a particularly challenging condition.
• Ankylosing Spondylitis is a type of arthritis that primarily affects the spine. It causes inflammation and potential fusion of the vertebrae, which can lead to intense, chronic pain and discomfort. In developed cases, the inflammation can lead to new bone formation on the spine, causing spine sections to fuse in a fixed, immobile position.
• Psoriatic Arthritis: An inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis, indicated by joint pain and skin lesions. This condition can affect any part of the body, including fingertips and spine, and can range from mild to severe.
• Sjogren’s Syndrome: An autoimmune disorder affecting the glands that create tears and saliva, leading to dry mouth and eyes. It can also cause dryness in areas that need moisture, such as the nose, throat, and skin. Additionally, some people may experience joint pain, swelling, and stiffness.
• Scleroderma is a group of diseases that pushes the hardening and tightening of the skin. This condition affects women more often than men and can occur in people of all ages. In some cases, scleroderma only affects the skin, but in many people, it also affects structures beside the skin, such as blood vessels and the digestive tract.
• Gout: A type of arthritis caused by the collection of urine crystals in the joints, leading to intense pain and swelling. Gout attacks can come unexpectedly, frequently waking you up in the middle of the night with the sensation that your big toe is on fire. The affected joint is hot, swollen, and so tender that even the weight of the bedsheet may seem intolerable.
• Vasculitis is a rash of the blood vessels that can affect any organ system. This condition can cause blood vessel walls to thicken, reducing the passageway’s width via the vessel. If blood flow is limited, it can result in organ and tissue damage.
• Myositis is inflammation of the muscles that can cause weakness and pain. This condition can affect muscles and have mild to severe symptoms. Chronic inflammatory myopathy is characterized by persistent muscle inflammation and weakness.
• Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders are conditions in which part of the immune system is missing, leading to frequent infections. These disorders are usually inherited and can impact anyone, regardless of age or gender.
