Updated October 22, 2015. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, autoimmune, inflammatory, potentially disabling type of arthritis which affects 1.5 million American adults. The disease can be associated with joint pain, joint deformity, decreased physical function, as well as systemic effects.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease that causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function in the joints. It occurs when the immune system, which normally defends the body from invading organisms, turns its attack against the membrane lining the joints.ike many other rheumatic diseases, rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease (auto means self), so-called because a personâs immune system, which normally helps protect the body from infection and disease, attacks joint tissues for unknown reasons.
