From the Medical Desk… by Dr. Abey AbrahamRHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease affecting multiple joints, causing pain and gradual deformation. Eventual joint destruction causes consequent disability and shorter life expectancy. It has a prevalence of 1% and is commoner in women. It usually starts in the 4th or 5th decade and its cause is unknown. Genetic factors are implicated.The symptoms are joint pains and stiffness (usually in the mornings) of symmetrical joints of the hands and feet. RA can involve the neck but usually spares the lower portion of the spine. Other parts of the body are commonly involved. They include nodules on the skin, dryness of eyes, Lung disease causing cough, pericarditis and aortic involvement etc. RA can be diagnosed by presence of Rheumatoid factor and AntiCCP antibodies in blood. X-ray, ESR and CRP tests reveal these results.Treatment is aimed at reducing pain, preserving function and preventing deformation of the joints. Pain Killers (like Diclofenac, Brufen and Arcoxia) help in relieving pain. Steroids reduce inflammation and DMARDs (Disease Modifying AntiRheumatic Drugs- Methotrexate Antimalarials, etc.) help in suppressing the disease. Physiotherapy and Occupational therapy is necessary. In advanced stages surgery may be necessary. A Rheumatologist is to be consulted.

This as a regular column for the benefit of our readers. This column is intended to increase health awareness among our members and hopefully lead to a change in perspective and focus on better health practices. All suggestions are welcome.
