About Disease:-

UCTD or Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease is actually a group of medical diseases which has a connective tissue of the body as its primary target of pathology.  The connective tissue are the structural portions of the human body holding together the entire cell structure of the body. These tissues are connected in a framework or matrix of the body. These connective tissues are composed of two major structural protein molecules, collagen and elastin.

There are different types of collagen protein varying in amount in each of the body’s tissue. Elastin has the capability of stretching and returning to its original length similar to spring or rubber band. Elastins are the crucial component of ligaments and skin, in patients with UCTD, Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease; it is common for collagen and elastin which can get injured by inflammation.

In many of the cases, Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease featuring abnormal immune system activity with inflammation in tissues as a result of an immune system which is directed against one own body tissue and autoimmunity.

It is a disease in which inflammation or weakness of collagen is also referred as the one of the collagen tissues composed of two major structural protein molecules. Many a times the Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease feature abnormal immune system activity with inflammation in tissues as a result of an immune system that is directed against one’s own body tissues.

Undifferentiated Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease is an autoimmune disease causing the immune system to attack specific parts of the body resulting in varieties of problems. The condition is used to describe the diseases of the immune system to describe the diseases of the immune system treated primarily by rheumatologists.  The basic reason for developing the risks for UCTD is the abnormal immune system activity in association with inflammation in the normal body tissues against one’s own body.  This is a rare disease and is generally observed in people living with weak and disease susceptible immune and autoimmune system.

When a patient suffers from Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease requires carrying out a proper medical test for accurate diagnosis and proper medical dose.

Causes of UCTD (Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease)

In most of the cases, the specific causes if Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease are not known.  However, there are genetic patterns which are considered to increase the risk for developing the scope for Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease. A combination of genetic risks and environmental factors are necessary for the entire development of this disease. This combination can severely impact on increasing the risk factors for getting UCTD in a particular human being. The condition is a collective disease and takes a bit of a longer time to make a proper diagnose.

Symptoms and signs of UCTD, Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease

A common symptom is a nonspecific fatigue; however, the signs and symptoms majorly depend on the specific connective tissue disease present in the human body. The condition is extremely active and a wide variety of symptoms may occur. In many of the cases, the condition can be specified as fever, muscle and joint pains the severe ones include stiffness of the body, weakness and similar other symptoms.

There physical signs and symptoms can rarely help in making an accurate diagnose of the condition. A nonspecific occurrence of fatigue is one of the commonly observed symptom expressing the risk of existence of UCTD in the particular individual.

How is UCTD (Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease) Diagnosed?

The doctor carries out the test by detecting a particular Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease simply by carrying out a physical examination. Commonly, the diagnosis is carried out by blood testing, X-ray examination and other kinds of tests helping to make a proper diagnosis of Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease.

Risk factors for developing UCTD, Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease:-

The condition can be due to genetic inheritance which includes Marfan syndrome which is in consideration to have a tissue in the heart, aorta, eyes, lungs and skeleton. In many of the cases, the condition is defined as selected gene abnormality including systemic lupus erythematosus or scleroderma.

The health disorder occurs for unknown reasons but can be associated with weaker genetic factors predisposing their developments. Other diseases in connection to this particular tissue disease cannot be always defined under a single or selected category of gene abnormalities. These complications are generally observed due to unknown reasons which are further categorised as weaker genetic factors predisposing their development. These are further characterised as a group by the presence of spontaneous over activity of the immune system resulting in the generation and formulation of extra antibodies in to the process of circulation.

Autoimmune diseases on co-relation with UCTD (undifferentiated connective tissue disease):-

This particular autoimmune disease is highly co-related with rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, polymyositis and dermatomyostis.  These are some of the commonly known disorders in co-relation with UCTD. These are considered as classic Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease.  Each of these disease can evolve gradually and rapidly from the extremely subtle abnormalities prior to demonstrating the features helping for the accurate diagnosis.

Many times, in early stages, the doctor refers to the undifferentiated condition as a collagen vascular disease or the Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease till the time the extreme defined symptoms appear. The condition is a change in to a more definable disease occurring over years or simply never happens. However, the symptoms and risks of these autoimmune diseases disappear at the point where there is no disease or complexity observed at all.

Most of the times this is a collective disorder which is observed in more than one autoimmune connectivity tissue disease present in the similar person where the condition is often referred as an overlap syndrome in association with Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease.

There is not accurate treatment for the condition since it is a collective disorder. The medications and the dosages are all in regard to the collective disorders a person experiences. Another type of UCTD can be referred as a polymyositis and is generally referred as a mixed Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease also common as sharp’s syndrome.
