What is rheumatoid arthritis?

Rheumatoid arthritis, or RA, is an autoimmune and inflammatory disease in which your immune system mistakenly assaults healthy cells in your body, producing inflammation (painful swelling) in the afflicted areas.

  • RA primarily affects the joints, often attacking multiple joints at once. The hands, wrists, and knees are the most typically affected joints by RA.
  • The lining of the joint becomes inflamed in RA joints, causing joint tissue destruction.
  • This tissue damage can result in persistent or long-term discomfort, unsteadiness (loss of balance), and deformity (misshapenness).
  • RA can also affect other tissues and organs, including the lungs, heart, and eyes.
