Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic autoimmune and inflammatory condition, in which the body’s immune system attacks its own tissue lining in the joints and organs.

Over a long period, a person suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis, or RA, is prone to experience further deterioration of the joints like bone erosion and joint deformity due to the thinning of the tissue lining.

Causes and Risk Factors

Although there are huge breakthroughs in the field of medical science regarding RA, however, scientists have yet to determine the exact cause of RA. 

There are a number of factors that make some people potentially more prone to get affected by this disease such as people born with a particular gene known as HLA (human leukocyte antigen) class II genotypes and some other environmental factors. 

Studies have also shown that women are twice as likely to suffer from it than compared to men.

There are four stages of RA:

Stage I: Synovitis
