Most rheumatic joint diseases can be diagnosed by a careful clinical history and examination of the patient. The differential diagnosis considers typical age at onset, sex, pattern of joint involvement and the occurrence of extra-articular manifestations. In addition to laboratory tests and joint fluid examination, conventional radiographic investigations are very important for both the assessment of the diagnosis and the evaluation of the disease process in patients with rheumatic joint disorders.
大多数风湿性关节疾病可通过仔细询问临床病史并对患者进行检查来诊断。鉴别诊断需考虑发病的典型年龄、性别、关节受累模式以及关节外表现的出现情况。除实验室检查和关节液检查外，传统的影像学检查对于评估风湿性关节疾病患者的诊断及疾病进程都非常重要。
