Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic (long-term) autoimmune disease primarily affecting joints. RA develops when the immune system, which normally protects the body from infection and disease, targets its own tissues. The condition causes joint discomfort, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function. More than only your joints may be impacted by the chronic inflammatory disease known as rheumatoid arthritis. Skin, eyes, lungs, heart, and blood vessels are just a few of the systems in
the body that might sustain harm from the illness in certain individuals. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that happens when your immune system unintentionally targets the tissues in your own body.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that happens when your immune system unintentionally targets the tissues in your own body. Rheumatoid arthritis affects the lining of your joints, generating a painful swelling that can eventually lead to bone erosion and joint deformity, unlike the wear-and-tear deterioration of osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis-related inflammation is what causes harm to other bodily components as well. Even though there are now many more treatment choices available due to new drugs, severe rheumatoid arthritis can still cause physical limitations.
