Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the joints, though it can also involve other organs such as the lungs, heart, and eyes. Unlike osteoarthritis, which is caused by wear and tear, RA occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the synovium, the lining of the joints. This leads to painful inflammation, swelling, and over time, joint damage and deformities.
Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent progressive disability and systemic complications.
Other signs may include low-grade fever or general malaise during active disease
The exact cause of RA is unknown, but risk factors include:
abnormal immune response targeting joint tissues
Family history of autoimmune diseases, especially HLA-DRB1 alleles
Smoking (strongest risk factor), infections, vitamin D deficiency, and hormonal influences
RA is more common in women and usually begins between ages 30 and 60.
