Management of Rheumatoid Arthritis

- Introduction

• Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent inflammatory polyarthritis, which can lead to joint destruction and systemic complications. [1]
• Early diagnosis and treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are important to prevent joint damage, disability and systemic complications (e.g., cardiovascular disease). [2]
