AB Rheumatoid  arthritis  (RA)  is  a  chronic  inflammatory  disease  of  unknown  etiology  marked  by  a  symmetric,  peripheral  polyarthritis.  It  is  the  most  common  form  of  chronic  inflammatory  arthritis  and  often  results  in  joint  damage  and  physical  disability.  Because  it  is  a  systemic  disease,  RA  may  result  in  a  variety  of  extraarticular  manifestations,  including  fatigue,  subcutaneous  nodules,  lung  involvement,  pericarditis,  peripheral  neuropathy,  vasculitis,  and  hematologic  abnormalities.
