Is rheumatoid arthritis serious?

Rheumatism is a disease with serious harm, it not only brings great inconvenience to the patient's life, but also can be disabling in serious cases, rheumatism is called "immortal cancer", which shows the great harm of rheumatoid arthritis.

1. Kidney disease: Rheumatoid arthritis causes renal dysfunction, which is mostly related to long-term use of anti-rheumatoid drugs and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics. After stopping the medication, it can be gradually improved.

Long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics may also cause interstitial nephritis, which progresses slowly but can lead to renal failure, so it should be used with caution in the elderly and patients with kidney disease.

2. Nervous system diseases: patients with rheumatoid arthritis often have neurological dysfunction. Nerve dysfunction can occur due to compression of the spinal cord by the cervical spine or compression of peripheral nerves by synovitis or tendon synovitis.

3. ** disease: the representative is rheumatoid nodules. In addition, malignant rheumatoid arthritis can cause necrotizing vasculitis, a kind of purpura, ulcer and gangrene mixed with the first lesion, more common in the lower 13 parts of the lower limbs. What are the dangers of rheumatoid arthritis?

4. Heart disease: rheumatoid arthritis complicated by pericarditis can be as high as 20% to 50%, a few also form rheumatoid nodules, most of them are asymptomatic, and are often found during cardiac ultrasound. However, it is also possible to cause left-sided heart failure.

5. Eye disease: rheumatoid can also affect the eyes, about 15% of patients can have Sjögren's syndrome, which causes corneal and conjunctival dryness and discomfort, and a small number of patients can be complicated with scleritis and iritis, mostly occurring at the edge of the cornea 2 3 mm.

6. Respiratory diseases: pleurisy and interstitial pneumonia are more common, especially in the elderly with long-term illness.

The above is a specific introduction to the harm of rheumatoid arthritis, I hope you must pay more attention to it after reading it, and learn more about this disease in life.

Rheumatoid arthritis is currently a category of all arthritic diseases, with a higher incidence, which mostly occurs in the rainy season of winter and spring, and the humid and cold environment is its main cause, which can be diseased at all ages, and can cause a variety of disease symptoms after the onset of the disease, but because most people do not have a thorough understanding of this kind of disease, do not understand the characteristics of this type of disease, so is rheumatoid arthritis serious?

Whether rheumatoid arthritis is serious needs to be judged according to the patient's condition, if it is a joint inflammatory disease caused by rheumatic fever, it is not serious, arthritis caused by rheumatic fever can be **, when the streptococcal infection is eliminated, rheumatic fever can no longer be **, and there will be no sequelae, if it is common rheumatoid arthritis, it is caused by cold and wind, and the condition cannot be judged, most patients are more serious, which can cause a variety of complications.

2. The dangers of rheumatoid arthritis.

1.Swollen and painful joints.

In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, most of the joint symptoms are symmetrical, often extending to the metacarpophalangeal joint, shoulder joint, knee joint, ankle joint, etc., and the clinical manifestations are joint redness, swelling, burning, pain, and mobility disorders.

2.Joint deformity.

When rheumatoid arthritis is severe, some patients may present with flexion or deformity of the metacarpophalangeal joints, which can occur between the toes and present with the appearance of a claw-like deformity.

3.Morning stiffness. Morning stiffness is a common joint symptom, which mainly appears before the symptoms of joint pain, at first there will be unbearable pain during activity, joint stiffness symptoms, but after a moderate amount of activity, morning stiffness will be reduced or disappear, generally the morning symptoms are more obvious, and the afternoon symptoms will be reduced.

4.Other complications.

From the perspective of pathological causes, rheumatoid arthritis can involve the synovium of the joints, articular cartilage, joint ligaments, tendons, bone tissues, and even connective tissues such as the heart, lungs, serrosa, etc., and can be accompanied by systemic symptoms, such as fatigue and weakness, subcutaneous nodules, pericarditis, eye lesions, etc.

Rheumatoid arthritis can cause infection, mostly bacteria, and inflammation can spread to the lungs. Clinical manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis include pleurisy, diffuse interstitial pneumonia, and pulmonary interstitial fibrosis.

Cardiac manifestations: some patients may have pericarditis, pericardial effusion, and very few patients may have valvular disease. This is also a clinical manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis.

Neurological manifestations: The clinical manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis are mostly caused by vasculitis, with local loss of sensation in one or more limbs, wrist dropping, foot dropping, or carpal tunnel syndrome. It can be taken on a regular basis to relieve joint pain and gradually improve joint deformity.

1. Disease.

The most emblematic is rheumatoid nodules. In addition, there is a high probability of causing necrotizing vasculitis, and everyone will have ulceration and dry gangrene mixed with the presence of ** lesions, mostly in the lower 13 positions of the legs.

2. Nephritis. Rheumatoid disease progresses to a certain stage, causing kidney obstruction, renal arteritis can lead to a variety of nephritis and tubulointerstitial nephritis and tapioca starch-like changes in renal function.

3. Nervous system diseases.

Rheumatoid patients develop neurological dysfunction. It is mainly related to the compression of the spine by the cervical spine or the compression of the abducens nerve due to knee synovitis and tendon synovitis, and the problem of nerve dysfunction occurs.

4. Heart disease.

Rheumatoid diseases can also be complicated by pericarditis, the probability of which can even reach 50%, and endocarditis and heart disease can generally be detected during cardiac ultrasound.

5. Eye diseases.

Rheumatoid can also affect both eyes, and nearly 15% of people will develop Sjogren's syndrome, and everyone's cornea will be the main manifestation of dryness and discomfort.

6. Respiratory diseases.

The incidence of lung involvement in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is 47%, but there is not necessarily an active condition in clinical medicine. It is mainly pleurisy and interstitial pneumonia, and the elderly with long-term illness are most prone to these problems.

Rheumatoid arthritis can get worse over time, and the more it drags on, the more severe the symptoms and injuries will become. The vast majority of rheumatoid arthritis patients can relieve the patient's pain, slow down the progression of the disease and the destruction of joint structures according to standard medical treatment, and manipulate the disease to a stable level to improve the quality of life of the patient.

Patients should be tailored according to their own conditions, choose different drugs, take drugs and stop drugs should be carried out under the guidance of physicians, and cannot reduce the dosage and stop the drug privately because it is not painful or swollen, and the symptoms are relatively mild, and make independent decisions. No matter what level your condition develops, you need to be proactive in treatment, and you don't have to leave it alone, follow its development trend, so that if you delay it, your condition will only get worse and worse.

The six major harms brought by rheumatoid arthritis can cause kidney diseases, respiratory diseases, nervous system diseases, ** diseases, heart disease, and eye diseases.

There will be heart disease, kidney disease, nervous system problems, respiratory problems, and also very serious ** diseases. Ophthalmopathy.

It affects walking, weakness of limbs, deformation of bones, causes respiratory diseases, ** disease, kidney disease, and even paralysis.

There will be neurological diseases, kidney diseases, respiratory diseases, ** diseases, heart disease, eye diseases.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a common rheumatic disease that occurs in middle-aged and elderly women, and its incidence is high, which can cause joint ankylosis and deformity, and make patients lose their ability to work, so it is more harmful.

Rheumatoid arthritis** and its pathogenesis are still unclear, but existing studies have shown that it is related to genetic, endocrine, sex hormones, and environmental factors.

Rheumatoid arthritis is easy to invade many joints in the human body, causing symmetrical swelling and pain, such as common hand joints, wrist joints, elbow joints, shoulder joints, knee joints, foot and ankle joints and toe joints, which are the most likely parts of rheumatoid arthritis to invade. Patients often feel that the joints are swollen, painful, and have limited flexion and extension, and the stiffness is more than 1 hour in the morning, which can be slightly relieved after activity.

Rheumatoid arthritis is generally related to streptococcal infection, and genetics, and at the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the surrounding environment and local resistance.

Generally, before rheumatoid arthritis develops, there may be a local throat infection. And there may be symptoms such as cold beating. After streptococcal infection in the pharynx, antibodies are formed and deposited in the joints.

The synovium of the attacked joint, because of its resemblance to the streptosphere, destroys the synovium of the joint, resulting in arthritis. At the same time, if the air circulation is not good in a humid, cold, and closed environment, one is easy to get streptococcal infection, and the second is rheumatoid arthritis, which also increases the chance of getting disease.

Third, rheumatoid arthritis is also related to genetics. There are some genetic traits that are less likely to get the disease than in people.

Finally, it is the resistance of the patient, which is also related to the physical fitness and the child's exercise, which needs to be comprehensively analyzed. In general, these conditions are the most important factors in developing rheumatoid arthritis.

The harms of rheumatoid arthritis include:

1. In terms of joints, it will cause inflammation, morning stiffness, deformation, and even deformity of joints;

2. Extra-articular hazards will form some rheumatoid nodules, which can occur near the joints or in other parts of the body;

3. Secondary diseases, such as Sjögren's syndrome and anemia, cause inflammation of renal blood vessels; Causes changes such as gangrene, ulcers on the fingertips; Lesions that cause respiratory tract; Lesions that cause kidneys, nervous system, heart, etc.

Rheumatoid arthritis is more harmful, first of all, chronic disease, the so-called chronic disease is a lifelong disease, patients should have a clear understanding of the disease. The disease mainly causes joint destruction, and is the most severe joint destruction of all rheumatic diseases or the only chronic immune arthritis that causes bone destruction. After bone destruction, patients may not feel it too clearly in the early stage, and as the disease progresses, joint deformity and deformity will occur, and eventually disability, which will have a great impact on patients.

In addition, in fact, it not only affects the joints, but also affects other organs, such as the accumulation of cornea to cause keratitis, conjunctivitis affects vision, involves the lungs or involves the pleura to cause lung shadows, some people may think that it is lung cancer or lung infection, and even will take resection, which will cause greater damage, in fact, there is no need to do surgery at all, the condition can be controlled under the control of rheumatoid drugs, and some patients will also have pleural effusion, ** vasculitis. In the process of rheumatoid, some drugs may also cause harm to the body, but you must not use drugs because of harm, because drugs can be monitored and controlled, and if rheumatoid patients do not use drugs, there is no way to control the patient's condition.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a relatively common immune system disorder characterized by erosion of the joints. In the early stages of the disease, patients will present with joint deformity and loss of normal joint function. In severe cases, it can also lead to systemic diseases, and patients will have persistent symptoms of fever, general malaise, and weight loss.

Only through effective and regular ** can patients return to normal life and work. In order to achieve the purpose of relieving symptoms, it is recommended that patients undergo surgery when the effect is not good and the joint function is seriously affected to prevent the condition from continuing to worsen. Other effects on the patient.

Because rheumatoid arthritis causes swelling and pain in the joints, it can lead to immobility, and many simple movements may not be performed smoothly. Rheumatoid arthritis can cause a lot of damage to the joints, and if it is not effective for a long time**, the condition will be further aggravated, causing the joints to gradually lose their mobility, and eventually cause disability.

The symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis can affect life, cause immobility, and can eventually become disabled, burdening yourself and your family.

1.Affect life: Rheumatoid arthritis can cause symptoms such as joint swelling and pain, shortness of breath and dry eyes after activity, which will affect normal work, study and life.

2.Difficulty moving: Swollen and painful joints, which can lead to difficulty in moving and not being able to complete certain movements.

3.Disabling: If not carried out**, the condition progresses all the way and eventually the joints may become incapacitated, leading to disability.

4.Burden: After becoming disabled, you may lose some mobility and need long-term help and care.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the joints. As a result, the impact on the lives of RA patients may include the following:

1.Daily activities: People with RA may experience stiffness, swelling, and pain in their joints, which may cause them to exercise less in their daily lives. Everyday movements such as going up and down stairs, standing, walking, etc., may be made more difficult by the front wheels.

2.Work and occupation: Occupations that require long periods of sitting or heavy physical labor may be less suitable for people with RA.

In addition, RA can also cause deformation and loss of function in small joints such as hands and feet, and may also be affected by precision operations and handicrafts.

4.Psychological state: RA can also have a negative impact on sleep quality, accompanied by depression, anxiety and fear, which can have a strong impact on the mental health of patients.

Patients with RA must take timely** targeted measures to reduce joint pain and stiffness, improve exercise capacity, and improve quality of daily living. In this process, you should actively fight against the damage caused by your denial of RA in all aspects, and seek social support to help maintain a good state of mind. At the same time, it can be very helpful to maintain exercise, dietary adjustments, etc.
