Anonymous users2024-02-12What are the complications of rheumatoid arthritis? The complications of rheumatoid arthritis are many and serious, and patients are advised to be vigilant about the complications of rheumatoid arthritis. The main complications of rheumatoid arthritis are as follows.
1) Pneumonia: Due to decreased immunity and bacterial infection, patients often have pneumonia.
2) Urinary tract infection: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis are often prone to urinary tract infection if they do not pay attention to their daily life or suffer from a cold.
3) Kirshing's syndrome: If patients take hormones for too long, they are often complicated by Kirshing's syndrome due to the suppression of adrenal cortex function in the body, and the common symptoms mainly include moon face, buffalo back, weight gain, etc.
4) Oral ulcers: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis often develop oral ulcers after taking immunosuppressants, in addition to nausea and vomiting, anorexia, rash, loss of taste and other adverse reactions.
5) Infectious diseases: Patients suffer from this disease for too long, their autoimmune function declines, and when certain infectious diseases are prevalent in society, they are more susceptible to infection than normal people.
In short, rheumatoid arthritis has more and more serious complications, and patients with rheumatoid arthritis should not ignore the dangers of rheumatoid arthritis.

Anonymous users2024-02-11Rheumatoid arthritis, also known as rheumatoid arthritis, is an inflammatory disease of the bone rheumatoid joint, which is now recognized as an autoimmune disease. It may be related to endocrine, nutritional, geographical, occupational, psychological and social environment differences, bacterial and viral infections and genetic factors, etc., with chronic, symmetrical, multisynovial arthritis and extra-articular lesions as the main clinical manifestations, which are autoimmune inflammatory diseases. The disease is more common in small joints such as hands, wrists, and feet, and is symmetrically distributed.
In the early stage, the joints are red, swollen, hot, painful and dysfunctional, and in the late stage, the joints may appear with different degrees of stiffness and deformity, accompanied by atrophy of bone and skeletal muscles, which are very disabling. From the perspective of pathological changes, rheumatoid arthritis is a widespread inflammatory disease that mainly affects the synovium of the joints (which can later affect the articular cartilage, bone tissue, joint ligaments, and muscle bonds), followed by the connective tissues such as the serous membrane, heart, lungs, and eyes. In addition to joint lesions, the systemic manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis include fever, fatigue and weakness, subcutaneous nodules, pleurisy, arteritis, peripheral neuropathy, etc.
Generalized rheumatoid arthritis includes extensive lesions throughout the body in addition to inflammatory lesions in the joints.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), referred to as rheumatoid, is an autoimmune inflammatory disease with chronic, symmetrical, polysynovial arthritis and extra-articular pathologies (subcutaneous nodules, pericarditis, pleurisy, pneumonia, peripheral neuritis, etc.) as the main clinical manifestations. Its prominent clinical manifestations are anti-symmetrical polyarthritis, with joints such as hands, wrists, and feet most commonly affected; It presents with redness, swelling, heat, pain and dysfunction in the early stage, and may have varying degrees of stiffness and deformity in the joints, as well as bone and skeletal muscle atrophy, which is a disease with a high disabling rate. From the perspective of pathology, rheumatoid arthritis is a widespread inflammatory disease that mainly affects the synovial membrane of the joint (which can later affect the articular cartilage, bone tissue, joint ligaments, and tendons), followed by the connective tissues such as the serous membrane, heart, lungs, and eyes. >>>More

Rheumatoid arthritis is not possible, because at present, we have not yet figured out the mechanism of the disease itself, and its immune disorders, and even some of them are related to genes. At present, we are not clear about its mechanism, the root cause of its pathogenesis, and its causes, so it is difficult for us to fundamentally understand it. So now, our research on rheumatoid arthritis has been done with many drugs that have risen to the cellular level, the protein level, and some very microscopic levels, but they still haven't reached the essence of the disease.
