Inflammatory bowel disease is a term used to describe disorders that involve chronic inflammation of your digestive tract and, unfortunately, psoriatic arthritis patients are six times more likely to have an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) known as Crohn’s disease, according to a study of more than 174,000 women.
Chronic inflammation underlies both Crohn’s and PsA, and some of the medications used to treat arthritis may lead to or exacerbate IBD symptoms. (Other PsA drugs, though, can help IBD symptoms.) People with PsA are also at higher risk for diabetes, osteoporosis, kidney disease, other autoimmune diseases, and many other conditions.
