Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the common diseases. It is a chronic recurrent systemic disease with unknown etiology and mainly characterized by joint inflammation. In the early stage, there are migratory joint pain, swelling and dysfunction, and in the late stage, there are joint stiffness and deformity, loss of function, and disability. The lesions are mainly in the synovium of the joints, followed by the serous membrane, heart, lungs, eyes, skin, blood vessels, kidneys and other tissues and organs.

A small number of patients have a tendency to spontaneously improve after the onset of the disease. Most patients have recurrent symptoms, sometimes mild and sometimes severe. A small number of patients have a continuous worsening of their condition, rarely stagnating. The development of the disease can be summarized as: joint swelling rises and falls; joint pain is severe in some places and mild in others; joint inflammation flares up and down, lingering for years; if it cannot be controlled or cured, it will eventually lead to disability.

Rheumatoid arthritis can occur in people of any age. The youngest onset age is seen in infants of 6 weeks, and the oldest onset age is 70 years old. The incidence rate generally increases with age, but the peak age of onset is between 20 and 40 years old, and for female patients it is between 40 and 60 years old. Rheumatoid arthritis that occurs before the age of 16 and adult-onset rheumatoid arthritis are different in onset and clinical manifestations, so the former is called juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis can be completely cured before it changes shape. If it changes shape, it can only be controlled so that it does not develop.
