Overview
The symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis usually develop in the third to fourth decade of life. Symptoms such as fatigue, small joints pain and morning stiffness are seen initially, the stiffness may last more than 1 hour. Complications of rheumatoid arthritis may involve various organ systems. Cardiac complications include pericarditis, congestive heart failure, endocarditis, and myocardial infarction. Pulmonary complications include pleurisy, alveolitis, pleural effusion, and pulmonary fibrosis. Rheumatological complications include joint deformities, Felty's syndrome, sjögren's syndrome, osteoporosis, and atlantoaxial subluxation. Ophthalmology complications include scleritis and keratitis. Renal complications include chronic renal failure from amyloidosis. Nervous system complications like peripheral neuropathy, quadriplegia, and mononeuritis multiplex may also be seen. Prognosis is generally good with early diagnosis and treatment. The 10-year disability rate of patients with rheumatoid arthritis is approximately 40%.
Natural History
- The symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis usually develop in the third to fourth decade of life. Symptoms such as fatigue, small joints pain and morning stiffness lasting more than 1 hour may be seen.
- If left untreated, patients with rheumatoid arthritis may progress to develop extra-articular manifestation.
Complications
The complication of rheumatoid arthritis are given below:[1][2]
Rheumatological
The rheumatological complications of rheumatoid arthritis include:
- Joint deformitites
- Felty's syndrome
- Sjögren's syndrome
Cardiac complications
The cardiac complications of rheumatoid arthritis include:
Pulmonary complications
The pulmonary complications of rheumatoid arthritis include:[6][7][8]
Ocular complications
The ocular complications of rheumatoid arthritis include:
Renal complications
The renal complications of rheumatoid arthritis include:
Neurological complications
The neurological complications of rheumatoid arthritis include:[9][10]
Orthopedic complications
The orthopedic complications of rheumatoid arthritis include:[11]
- Erosion of the odontoid process and transverse ligaments in the cervical spine
- Osteoporosis
- Atlanto-axial subluxation
Hematologic complications
The hematologic complications of rheumatoid arthritis include:
Dermatological complications
The dermatological complications of rheumatoid arthritis include:[12][13]
- Splinter haemorrhages
- Periungual infarcts
- Leg ulcers
- Digital gangrene
- Pyoderma gangrenosum
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally good with early diagnosis and treatment, and 10-year disability rate of patients with rheumatoid arthritis is approximately 40%.
Prognostic factors
- Poor prognostic factors are:[14][15]

- Age less than 30 years
- HLA-DRB1*04/04 genotype
- High serum levels of autoantibodies
- Extra-articular symptoms
- Systemic symptoms
- Cigarette smoking
- Lack of formal education
