Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder and is considered to be one of the most crippling forms of arthritis. RA involves chronic inflammation of the peripheral joints; the wrists, toes, fingers, joints, and knees. RA affects more than 6.5 million people in the United States and is more common in women than men.
An early diagnosis of RA lends to more effective treatment and relief methods. For this reason, it is important to take note of some of the most common symptoms associated with RA.
Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis include:
The symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis come and go, depending on the degree of tissue inflammation. When body tissues are inflamed, the disease is active. When tissue inflammation subsides, the disease is inactive (in remission). Remissions can occur spontaneously or with treatment, and can last weeks, months, or years. During remissions, symptoms of the disease disappear, and patients generally feel well. When the disease becomes active again (relapse), symptoms return. The return of disease activity and symptoms is called a flare. The course of rheumatoid arthritis varies from patient to patient, and periods of flares and remissions are typical.
Since RA is a systemic disease, its inflammation can affect organs and areas of the body other than the joints.
Scientific research suggests that Rheumatoid arthritis is most likely a culmination of several factors that involve environmental, genetic and hormonal factors.
Risk factors for Rheumatoid arthritis are factors that do not seem to be a direct cause of the disease, but seem to be associated in some way with the disease. Having a risk factor for RA makes the chances of getting the condition higher but this does not always lead to the condition. Also, the absence of any risk factors or having a protective factor does not necessarily guard you from getting RA.
Risk Factors that may make a person more prone to contracting Rheumatoid arthritis are:
