The most typical features are a symmetrical polyarthritis and tenosynovitis, morning stiffness, elevation of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and the appearance of autoantibodies that target immunoglobulins (rheumatoid factors) in the serum
Complication of RA Like rheumatoid arthritis, this is a generalized chronic inflammatory disease, but its effects are seen mainly in the spine and sacroiliac joints
