Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, systemic and autoimmune disease characterized by erosive arthritis.
At present, the pathogenesis is still unclear. Its basic pathological manifestation is synovitis, and articular cartilage and bone are gradually destroyed, which eventually leads to joint deformity and functional loss, and may be complicated with lung diseases, cardiovascular diseases, malignant tumors, fractures and depression.
According to epidemiological survey data, the prevalence rate of rheumatoid arthritis in China is about 0.34%. According to the population of 65.438+0.3 billion, there are about 4-5 million people suffering from this disease in China. Rheumatoid arthritis is more common in female patients, especially women before and after menopause or postpartum. Because of the changes of estrogen level in the body, it is easy to get sick.
