Rheumatoid arthritis usually affects joints and tissues around them. However, it also can influence other areas of the body, such as skin, lungs, kidneys, salivary glands, eyes, and lungs. In that case, it is the most serious form of arthritis known as a systemic disease. Rheumatoid arthritis represents an autoimmune disease, a disease when a body attacks itself. Through inflammation, the disease harms linings around joints, thus causing pain and swelling. Other symptoms and signs that point to a development of rheumatoid arthritis are fever, fatigue, loss of function in one or several joints, redness and warmth of the joints, etc. According to medical experts, the disease commonly affects the middle-aged women, who are between 40 and 60 years old. However, depending on family history or lifestyle, rheumatoid arthritis may occur in younger people and men, as well.
