Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

Overview

Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the synovium lining the joints, typically symmetrically in the hands, wrists and feet. The first two years are the most important window for preventing permanent damage.

How we treat it

Treat-to-target care: we measure disease activity at each visit and escalate therapy until remission is achieved, not merely until symptoms are tolerable.
