what is Rheumatoid Arthritis ?
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects the joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. It’s an autoimmune condition, meaning the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, leading to inflammation.
various forms of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Seropositive Rheumatoid Arthritis (M05.9): This is the most common type of RA, characterized by the presence of antibodies called rheumatoid factors in the blood.
Seronegative Rheumatoid Arthritis (M06.09): This type of RA is similar to seropositive RA, but rheumatoid factors are not present in the blood.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (M06.9): This is a general category that includes all types of RA, regardless of the presence or absence of rheumatoid factors.
what are the symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis?
The primary symptoms of RA include joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of joint function. These symptoms can vary from mild to severe and may come and go over time.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES of Rheumatoid Arthritis?
While the exact cause of RA is unknown, it’s believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Certain genes may make you more susceptible to environmental factors, such as infection with certain viruses and bacteria, that may trigger the disease.
