Herbal Remedies for Sharp Syndrome

ABOUT SHARP SYNDROME

Sharp Syndrome is a rare systemic inflammatory rheumatic disorder which is also called 'Mixed connective tissue disease' (MCTD). It is an autoimmune condition which is marked by high blood levels of a particular autoantibody known as anti U1 ribonucleoprotein (RNP).

Sharp Syndrome is termed as a 'mixed' disorder because some other autoimmune diseases are also characterized by high blood levels of anti-U1 RNP. More specifically, the clinical features of Sharp Syndrome have notable similarity with three other conditions --- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Polymyositis, and Systemic Sclerosis.

Sharp Syndrome and the other three autoimmune disorders with similar clinical features comprise a specific subset of the broad group of rheumatic "overlap syndromes", a term which is used to describe the presence of features of more than one classic inflammatory rheumatic disorder in a patient.

The onset of Sharp Syndrome generally occurs between 15 and 35 years of age. In this condition, patients mostly develop joint pains, muscle weakness, skin abnormalities, problems with internal organs, and Raynaud's phenomenon (a condition which causes tingling, numbness, paleness, whiteness or bluishness of fingers in response to cold or stress).

According to Ayurveda, the cause of Sharp Syndrome is the imbalance of 'Vata' dosha, along with vitiated 'Kapha' dosha. Like other autoimmune conditions, this disorder results from interruptions in cellular communication or recognition because of accumulation of toxins ('ama') which is caused by the low digestive fire ('agni').

CAUSES OF SHARP SYNDROME

The exact cause of Sharp Syndrome is still not known. However, in most patients suffering from this disorder, doctors have mostly observed abnormal B- and T-cell immune responses against self-antigens which are apoptotically modified.

In addition, doctors also believe that a complex combination of chemicals, viruses, and genetic factors cause Sharp Syndrome, in which the immune system of the body attacks itself.
