Unlike osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease!
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
Unlike osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis is a so-called autoimmune disease, characterized by chronic inflammation and thickening of the synovial lining in addition to cartilage destruction. In autoimmune diseases the immune system attacks body tissues as if they were foreign invaders. As in most other chronic inflammatory diseases, the etiology and pathogenesis of RA is poorly understood. Contributing factors are thought to include food allergies, leaky gut syndrome, hereditary factors, and microbes.
RA affects approximately 3% of the population, striking women three times as often as men. The typical onset is at 20 to 40 years of age. The clinical picture varies from mild chronic joint inflammation with occasional flare-ups to painfully deformed joints. The disease is often accompanied by low-grade fever, weight loss, and a general feeling of sickness and soreness.
