RA |
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, including the joints. Your immune system is supposed to protect you from foreign invaders, such as bacteria and viruses. In people with RA, an overactive immune system causes inflammation that results in swelling and pain in and around the joints. If inflammation continues for a long time, it can damage cartilage (the protective tissue that covers the ends of joints) and bones. This damage usually can’t be reversed once it happens. RA inflammation also can affect organs, such as the heart, eyes and lungs. Currently, there is no cure for RA, but Arthritis Foundation researchers and others are working towards one. |
