Autoimmune disorders cause the body to attack and damage its own healthy tissues by mistake. There are more than 80 types of autoimmune diseases with many having similar symptoms.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a progressive autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks the lining of the joints. This can cause painful joints and weakened tendons and ligaments increasing the risk of joint damage and physical disability. Diagnosing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in its early stages offers better chances for effective treatment.
