Abstract
Psoriatic arthritis is a heterogeneous disease characterized by the involvement of the axial skeleton and peripheral joints and / or entheses in the pathological process. The problems of diagnosing early psoriatic arthritis are not limited to the heterogeneity of clinical manifestations of the disease. Unlike rheumatoid arthritis, there are no biomarkers for the detection of early psoriatic arthritis, and therefore verification of the diagnosis depends on the identification of specific clinical signs. Finally, the absence of psoriasis in the presence of typical clinical signs of arthritis does not permit to confirm the diagnosis in the early stages. Considering numerous difficulties of clinical and laboratory diagnostics of psoriatic arthritis, great attention is paid to non-invasive instrumental methods for diagnosing the disease at early stages. The article provides up-to-date information on the potentials of ultrasound techniques in the diagnosis of early psoriatic arthritis.
