1. What is Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to mistakenly attack the lining of joints (synovium). This leads to persistent pain, swelling, stiffness, and, over time, joint deformity and reduced mobility. Unlike osteoarthritis, RA is not simply due to wear-and-tear—it is systemic and may also affect eyes, lungs, heart, and blood vessels.

2. Types of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

• Seropositive RA – Presence of rheumatoid factor (RF) or anti-CCP antibodies; usually more severe.
• Seronegative RA – No RF/anti-CCP antibodies but with clinical symptoms of RA.
• Juvenile RA – Occurs in children under 16.
• Extra-articular RA – RA with systemic involvement (skin, lungs, eyes, etc.).

3. Causes of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

• Autoimmune Dysfunction – The body’s defense system attacks its own joint tissue.
• Genetic Predisposition – Family history increases susceptibility.
• Hormonal Factors – Estrogen imbalances may play a role, as RA is more common in women.
• Environmental Triggers – Smoking, infections, or chronic stress.
• Lifestyle Factors – Sedentary lifestyle or obesity can worsen inflammation.
