Diagnosis and Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Marc J Donegan

Rheumatoid arthritis requires a high clinical suspicion, a careful examination, and the right investigations in order to be accurately diagnosed, which might be challenging early in the disease's progression. Early application of biologics and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic medications has improved results but consequence careful monitoring of the disease's progression and side effects. Rheumatoid arthritis is primarily diagnosed clinically. The normal presentation is polyarticular, with symmetrical bilateral joint pain, stiffness, and edoema. Only a small percentage of people have oligoarticular involvement that is asymmetrical. The symptoms normally appear slowly over weeks or months, and anorexia, weakness, or exhaustion are frequently present at the same time.
