Sc Madden. La policondritis recidivante. Kaye RC. The exact underlying cause of relapsing polychondritis RP is unknown. However, scientists suspect that it is an autoimmune condition. It it thought that RP occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cartilage and other tissues. There is also evidence to suggest that some people may be born with a genetic susceptibility to RP.
Studies have found that people with RP are roughly twice as likely as those without this condition to carry a certain genetic allele called HLA-DR4. However, HLA genes are not solely responsible for specific diseases but instead may simply contribute along with other genetic or environmental factors to disease risk.
Diagnosis Diagnosis. There are no tests available that are specific for relapsing polychondritis RP. A diagnosis is, therefore, generally based on the presence of characteristic signs and symptoms. Treatment Treatment. The primary goals of treatment for people with relapsing polychondritis RP are to relieve present symptoms and to preserve the structure of the affected cartilage. The main treatment for RP is corticosteroid therapy with prednisone to decrease the severity, frequency and duration of relapses.
Higher doses are generally given during flares, while lower doses can typically be prescribed during periods of remission. Other medications reported to control symptoms include dapsone , colchicine , azathioprine , methotrexate , cyclophosphamide , hydroxychloroquine , cyclosporine and infliximab.
Statistics Statistics. It has been estimated that between people per one million develop relapsing polychondritis every year. Females are more likely to develop RP than males. The exact number of people with this condition is unknown. Do you have updated information on this disease? Related Diseases Related Diseases.
