Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation of the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and, in extreme cases, deformity of the affected area. RA is a progressive disorder, meaning that it can worsen over time if left untreated. It occurs when autoantibodies attack the lining of the joints, leading to a breakdown of the tissue and bones, as well as leading to inflammation of the blood vessels and surrounding tissue. The cause of RA is not known, however, genetics, environmental triggers, and the body's own immune response may all play a role. Treatment typically includes medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications to reduce inflammation and joint damage. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent potential disability and joint deformity.
