Rheumatoid Arthritis Causes and Symptoms

In this video we will not only talk about the causes & main symptoms, but also the list of the main factors that increase the risk of (RA) rheumatoid arthritis and additional tips on the best arthritis treatments. Early rheumatoid arthritis first affects the smallest joints, especially those that connect the fingers with the hands and the toes with the feet. As the disease progresses, the symptoms spread to the wrists, knees, ankles, elbows, hips, and shoulders. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that can affect more than just the joints. This disorder in some people, can affect various body systems where it is including the skin, eyes, lungs, heart and blood vessels. Rheumatoid arthritis can affect many non-articular structures, including the skin, eyes, lungs, heart, kidneys, salivary glands, nerve tissue, bone marrow, and blood vessels. Symptoms of this chronic condition vary from person to person and can change from day to day. The main signs of rheumatoid arthritis especially include: -Joints sensitive to palpation, hot and swollen. -Joint stiffness that generally worsens in the morning and after inactivity. -Tiredness, fever and loss of appetite. Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when the immune system attacks the synovium, which is the lining of the membranes surrounding the joints. Doctors don't know what starts this process, although it seems likely to be a genetic component. While genes don't cause rheumatoid arthritis, they can make you more vulnerable to environmental factors, such as infection with certain viruses and bacteria, which can trigger the disease. Main factors that contribute to the causes and can increase the risk of rheumatoid arthritis. No. 1 Your Sex: Women are much more likely than men to develop rheumatoid arthritis. No. 2 Your Age : Rheumatoid arthritis can occur at any age, but it most often begins in middle age. No. 3 Family History : If a family member has rheumatoid arthritis, the risk of suffering from the disease may be higher. No. 4 Smoking : Cigarette smoking increases the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, especially if you have a genetic predisposition to developing the disease. Smoking also appears associated with a greater severity of the disease. No. 5 Environmental Exposure : Although poorly understood, some exposures, such as asbestos or silica, can increase the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis. No. 6 Obesity : People, especially women up to age 55, who are overweight or obese appear to be at increased risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis increases the risk of developing other important conditions & possible complications No. 1 Osteoporosis No. 2 Rheumatoid Nodules No. 3 Dry Eyes and Mouth No. 4 Infections No. 5 Abnormal Body Composition No. 6 Heart Problems No. 7 Lung Disease No. 8 Lymphoma Although there are no specific tests, the diagnosis of this pathology is relatively simple if the patient goes to the rheumatologist on suspicion of having some of the symptoms described above. During the evaluation, the rheumatologist can carry out a series of complementary examinations to facilitate the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. The diagnosis of this disease is quite simple : -Blood test -Rheumatoid factor tests -Test to detect antibodies against citrullinated peptides. These are present in two thirds of arthritis patients. -Radiographs to detect the presence of erosions #rheumatoidarthritis #causesofrheumatoidarthritis #symptomsofrheumatoidarthritis Recommended video : Uric Acid and Foods That Cause Gout /watch/sgqJkvGmpu1mJ Subscribe to Bian Cey : /channel/UCWHws-wZfcRKXf-XsplhpNA Connect with us : Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/Bian-Cey-110141587423531/ Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/biancey777/ Sources: MAYO CLINIC https://cuidateplus.marca.com/enfermedades/musculos-y-huesos/artritis-reumatoide.html CUIDATE PLUS https://www.mayoclinic.org/es-es/diseases-conditions/arthritis/symptoms-causes/syc-20350772
