[1] It also affects the underlying bone and cartilage. [1]
Rheumatoid arthritis is a degenerative autoimmune disease that causes damage and inflammation to a patient's joint and can affect bodily systems involving the heart, lungs, nerves, eyes, bones, and skin.
NORAD levels are seen to be elevated in the fluid component of blood (serum) of patients suffering from Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disorder that causes deformities in the joints. [11] These elevated NORAD levels are positively correlated to other inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) , rheumatoid factor (RF) , and ...

On the other hand, type 1 diabetes, which results from an autoimmune attack on the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas, primarily presents with symptoms related to high blood sugar ...
DRB1*04:01 is associated with multiple sclerosis, [12] rheumatoid arthritis, [13] type 1 diabetes, [14] [15] lyme disease induced arthritis. [16] HLA-DRB1*04:01 gene variant is found three times more often in asymptomatic carriers of SARS-CoV-2 than in patients with symptoms of COVID-19.
The causes of arthritis can be put into one of several buckets. Let’s look at these now. ... Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) Psoriatic arthritis, which is associated with the skin condition psoriasis.
