Causes, Symptoms & Cures For Rheumatoid Arthritis

Complications

Being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis increases the risk of developing other diseases. The most common of these are osteoporosis, dry mouth and eyes, heart problems, lymphoma, lung disease, an abnormal body composition, carpal tunnel syndrome, infections, and rheumatoid nodules. Many of these complications are due to the increased inflammation in other areas of the body, which causes acidity or an imbalanced blood pH in which disease thrives. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis often have more body fat compared to lean muscle even if their body mass index is healthy.
