Abstract

RheumatoidArthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent inflammation of synovial joints, often leading to joint destruction and disability. The major goals of treatment are to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, slow down or stop joint damage, prevent disability and preserve or improve the patients sense of wellbeing and ability to work.[1] RA, a chronic disease affecting 0.5%?1% of adults, is characterized by persistent syno?vitis, systemic inflammation, and immunological abnormalities.
