    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease, affecting approximately 0.5 to 1% of the adult population. Although the aetiology is not fully known, a complex interaction between genetic, environmental and stochastic factors is thought to trigger the pathogenic mechanisms. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Hormonal factors in rheumatoid arthritis – Their impact on disease risk and severity

    Författare :Mitra Pikwer; Internmedicin - epidemiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rheumatoid arthritis Hormonal factors;

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is 4-6 times more common in women than men during the fertile years. For women, the incidence peaks shortly after menopause, and for men the risk is greater with higher age, when androgen levels drops. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Pathogenetic factors of importance for the development and progression of rheumatoid arthritis

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation eventually leading to the destruction of cartilage and bone. The aetiopathogenesis is not completely understood, but previous studies have shown that the disease is multifactorial with genetic, environmental and hormonal factors involved. Immune cells, e.

    Sammanfattning : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune rheumatic disease with systemic manifestations characterized by auto-antibodies directed against different parts of the cell nucleus including DNA, histones and ribosomes. The systemic inflammation can cause damage to multiple organs, e.g., kidneys, skin, heart, lungs and the nervous system. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The association between hormonal/reproductive factors and the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis

    Författare :Cecilia Orellana Pozo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease which leads to joint damage and bone destruction, with a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors involved in its etiology. RA is more common among women than men at all ages, but the gender difference seems to be highest before menopause. LÄS MER
