Autoimmune diseases are conditions that happen when the body’s tissues are mistakenly attacked by its own immune system. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints.
Patients with autoimmune diseases have antibodies in their blood that target their own body tissues, where they can be associated with inflammation. Rheumatoid arthritis is referred to as a systemic illness and is sometimes called rheumatoid disease because it can affect multiple other organs of the body. The immune system is a complex organization of cells and antibodies designed normally to “seek and destroy” invaders of the body, particularly infections.
CAUSES OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
The exact cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown, but it is thought that certain infections or environmental factors may make some people more susceptible to having their immune systems activated and attacking their own tissues, which causes inflammation in the joints and occasionally other body organs like the lungs or eyes.
SYMPTOMS OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
- Tender, warm, swollen joints
- The mornings and after inactivity are typically when joints are stiffest.
- fever, exhaustion, and appetite loss
- Joint pain, stiffness, and muscle aches.
