rheumatoid
Rheumatoid refers to a type of chronic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects the joints but can also impact other systems of the body, such as the skin, eyes, lungs, heart and blood vessels. It is an autoimmune disorder wherein the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, leading to joint damage, swelling, pain, and long-term disability. This term is most commonly used in association with Rheumatoid Arthritis, a debilitating condition where the immune system attacks the lining of the joints.
