About the department

The Department of Rheumatology at the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden offers the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services in this medical field. Particular attention is paid to the treatment of patients with systemic autoimmune diseases (for example, systemic lupus erythematosus), early detection and timely treatment of inflammatory joint diseases. Comprehensive medical care is facilitated by close cooperation with the departments specializing in the related medical fields. The experts also actively collaborate with the University Center for Autoimmune and Rheumatic Entities (UCARE). The treatment involves the use of modern medicines for the complete elimination of rheumatic pathology or achievement of stable remission. Many diagnostic and therapeutic services are provided on an outpatient basis, but in complex clinical cases, the treatment takes place on an inpatient basis. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Martin Aringer.

Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most common diseases for which patients seek medical help from the department's doctors. The specialists of the medical facility have been treating this pathology for many years and have accumulated vast practical experience in this medical field. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic systemic connective tissue disease. The diagnostics begins with a clinical examination, the study of the patient's complaints, after which laboratory and instrumental tests are carried out. These may include joint ultrasound and X-ray scanning, arthroscopic tests, magnetic resonance imaging, scintigraphy. To treat rheumatoid arthritis, the department's specialists use unique drug therapy regimens adapted to the patient's individual needs. The goal of treatment is to relieve pain and improve the mobility of the affected joint or joints. As a rule, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, glucocorticosteroids, basic drugs (for example, methotrexate, sulfasalazine, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, enbrel, etc.) are prescribed to the patient. Biological therapy can also be used when indicated. The department's rheumatologists also prescribe physiotherapy procedures to eliminate joint stiffness and improve the patient's health.

The department's medical team is rightfully proud of its excellent results in the treatment of systemic autoimmune diseases: collagenosis, systemic vasculitis and arteritis. Of particular interest to the department's specialists is the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus. Pathology can affect not only joints, but also kidneys, heart, lungs, brain, skin, and other organs. The confirmation of the diagnosis requires laboratory and instrumental tests: blood tests, urine tests, ultrasound scanning, X-ray, CT, MRI and other tests. The treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus is based on the intake of a set of drugs, which the attending physician prescribes according to the obtained diagnostic results. In most cases, patients receive glucocorticoids, hydroxychloroquine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and other medications. The dosage and combination of drugs are determined depending on the severity of the pathology. It is also recommended to lead a proper lifestyle, follow a healthy diet, give up bad habits, etc.

  • Diagnostics and treatment of joint and spinal inflammatory diseases
