What is Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Rheumatoid Arthritis also known as RA, is an autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack healthy cells, primarily focusing on the synovial tissues within the joints. Joints become inflamed causing damage to the joint tissue leading to chronic pain, stiffness, deformities, and long-term disability. Multiple joints can be affected by Rheumatoid Arthritis at a time. Symptoms often manifest bilaterally, meaning both sides of the body are affected.
Joints most often affected include:
- Hands
- Wrists
- Knees
- Feet
Rheumatoid Arthritis is a systemic disease, and can affect other body tissue, systems and organs such as:
- Lungs
- Heart
- Eyes
- Skin
- Vascular system
The specific causes of RA are unknown, but some factors can increase the risk of developing the disease, like:
- Genetics
- Age, RA can begin at any age, but chances are higher after 60 years of age
- Sex, women are two to three times more likely to develop RA than men
- Smoking, and early life exposure to smoking
- Obesity
Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic condition, but with the proper treatment, remission is possible.
