Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune illness that results in chronic joint inflammation. It can also induce inflammation in the tissue around the joints and other body organs. Autoimmune disorders are illnesses caused by the body’s immune system mistakenly attacking its own tissues. The immune system is a complicated system of cells and antibodies that is meant to seek out and remove foreign intruders in the body, especially infections. Antibodies in the blood of patients with autoimmune illnesses attack their own body tissues, where they can cause inflammation.
Rheumatoid arthritis is known as a systemic sickness and is frequently referred to as rheumatoid disease since it can affect various other organs of the body, including the heart and kidneys.
While rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that can endure for years, people may go for lengthy periods of time without experiencing symptoms. Rheumatoid arthritis, on the other side, is typically a chronic illness that can lead to joint destruction and impaired functioning.
