  • Autoantibodies against collagens seen in the joint fluid – no relationship to the disease (ie: not an autoimmune disease) – can be seen in any joint disease


Steroid arthropathy

  • From glucocorticoids injected into joint as antiinflammatories
  • Injection sometimes causes rapid progression of degeneration
  • Glucocortyicois suppress anabolic effect of chondrocytes -> reduction of cartilage matrix syhthesis -> proteoglycan depletion -> slower repair
