Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a progressive inflammatory disorder characterized by proliferation of the synovial membrane and persistent uncontrolled inflammation resulting in a chronic destructive polyarthritis. Typically, RA manifests as a symmetric arthritis involving numerous small and large joints. Articular symptoms may be accompanied by systemic inflammatory symptoms such as fatigue, articular stiffness, anorexia, or fever.
