BackNew! Package Early Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes damage to the joints, usually symmetrically on both sides of the body. Although the exact causes of rheumatoid arthritis are unknown, it is considered an autoimmune disease when the immune system attacks its tissues, causing inflammation in joints and other organs.
Symptoms of Rheumatoid arthritis:
- Joint pain and swelling: One of the most characteristic symptoms is soreness and swelling in the joints, most often in the small joints of the hands and feet, as well as in the joints of the knees, elbows and wrists.
- Symmetrical joint damage: Usually joints are affected symmetrically, that is, if one joint is affected, then its "paired" joint on the other side of the body will also be affected.
- Stiffness and restriction of movement: Patients may experience morning stiffness in the joints, which may last for more than an hour after waking up. This can make joint movement more difficult and limited.
- Fatigue: People with rheumatoid arthritis often complain of general weakness, fatigue, and malaise, which may be due to both the inflammatory process and the effects of pain and lack of sleep.
Content of the Package Early Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis:
- Antibodies to cyclic citruline peptide
- Rheumatoid factor IgA
- Rheumatoid factor IgG
- Rheumatoid factor IgM
- C-reactive protein
Antibodies to cyclic citruline peptides are protein molecules that are formed in the body as a response to the presence of cyclic citruline peptides. Citruline peptides are antigens that may be associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid factor IgA/IgM/IgG are antibodies that are formed in the body in response to the presence of autoantibodies to immunoglobulins. Under normal conditions, the immune system attacks external antigens, but in rheumatoid arthritis, it begins to mistakenly direct its attacks to its tissues, in particular, to the joints. A positive rheumatoid factor test may be one of the indicators of rheumatoid arthritis, especially if accompanied by other clinical signs such as joint pain, morning stiffness, swelling, and other symptoms.
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a substance that is produced in the body in response to inflammation. The level of CRP in the blood usually increases with various types of inflammatory processes, including rheumatoid arthritis.
