Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic Systemic 
Inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology 
52
Epidemiology 
• Affects 0.5- 1.0% of the population world wide 
• Peak prevalence between the ages of 30 and 50 years 
• RA has an incredibly high disease burden and cost to 
society 
• Drastic affect on quality of life 
• Increased disability (80% disabled after 20 years of 
disease) 
• Patients with RA have shorter life expectancies 
53
Aetiology 
— Gender : women before the menopause are affected3 
times more than men & equal sex incidence thereafter 
— Familial : Increase incidence in those who with a 
family history of RA 
— Genetic factors: Human Leucocyte Antigen HLA- DR4 
& HLA- DrB1 
54
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Key Features 
• Inflammatory synovitis 
• Palpable synovial swelling 
• Morning stiffness >1 hour, fatigue 
• Symmetrical and polyarticular (>3 joints) 
• Typically involves wrists, MCP, and PIP joints 
• Typically spares certain joints 
— Thoracolumbar spine 
— DIPs of the fingers and IPs of the toes 
55
Rheumatoid Arthritis:Key Features (cont’d) 
• May have nodules: subcutaneous or 
periosteal at pressure points 
• Rheumatoid factor 
• 45% positive in first 6 months 
• 85% positive with established disease 
• Not specific for RA, high titer early is a bad sign 
• Marginal erosions and joint space narrowing on x-ray 
• Symptoms >6 weeks’ duration 
• Often lasts the remainder of the patient’s life 
56
Non -Articular manifestations 
57
The Normal Joint 
58
Pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis 
Inflammed synovial tissue (synovitis) 
• Villous hyperplasia 
• Intimal cell proliferation 
• Inflammatory cell infiltration 
T cells, B cells, macrophages and 
plasma cells 
• Production of cytokines and 
proteases 
• Increased vascularity 
• Self-amplifying process 
59
Deformities of Rheumatoid 
Arthritis 
60
Investigations 
Blood screening: 
— ESR 
— C Reactive Protein 
— FBC with differential 
— RF 
— Serum calcium phosphate & alkaline phosphate 
— Serum uric acid 
— ASOT 
Additional imaging techniques: 
• CT scans 
• AP & Lateral tomography (x-ray) 
• MRI scan 
• USS (good for assessing the presence of fluid)
