Rheumatology Rheumatoid disease

Rheumatoid disease is usually caused by a combination of factors such as low immunity, genetic factors, infectious factors, etc. These factors may act alone or in combination to cause rheumatism. Rheumatoid disease is an autoimmune disease, the cause of which is not completely clear, but it may be related to genetic, environmental, hormone levels and other factors. In particular, abnormalities in the autoimmune system cause the body to attack its own joint tissues incorrectly, thus causing the disease. 2. Clinical manifestations Rheumatology has various clinical manifestations, mainly joint lesions, manifested as joint swelling, pain, mobility disorders, etc. In addition, rheumatism may also invade various systems, tissues and organs of the body, causing rapid heartbeat, muscle pain, mucositis, pericarditis and other symptoms. Rheumatoid disease is mainly joint disease, manifested as chronic, symmetrical, polysynovial arthritis. Rheumatoid disease can seriously affect joint function, leading to joint cartilage and bone tissue destruction, and even cause joint deformity. In addition, rheumatoid disease may also be accompanied by other system diseases, such as skin disease, eye disease, heart disease, lung disease, etc. 3. Diagnosis methods Rheumatology diagnosis needs to be combined with medical history, physical examination, laboratory examination and other means to make a comprehensive judgment. Doctors will make a diagnosis based on the patient's symptoms, signs and laboratory test results. Rheumatoid diagnosis is more complex, requiring detailed clinical examination, laboratory examination and imaging examination and other means of comprehensive analysis. Especially the rheumatoid factor detection, for the diagnosis of rheumatoid disease has important significance.
