Summary

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic, multisystemic, progressive autoimmune disease characterized by joint destruction in synovial tissue, causing joint swelling, pain and morning stiffness. It is estimated to affect 0.1%-2% of the world's adult population and more women than men. RA limits individuals' work, social, and home lives and functional capacities.
