What disease can rheumatoid arthritis cause?

The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is still unclear, but foreign experts have clearly stated that rheumatoid arthritis may be related to infection, hormone secretion and genetic factors. It is recommended that netizens should pay attention to prevention in daily life. So, what diseases can rheumatoid arthritis cause?

1. Pneumonia:

Due to decreased immunity and bacterial infection, patients often suffer from pneumonia.

(ii) Urinary tract infection:

Rheumatoid arthritis patients are prone to urinary tract infection if they do not pay attention to their daily life or after catching a cold.

(III) Cushing's syndrome:

If patients use hormones for too long, they often develop Cushing's syndrome due to suppression of adrenal cortex function. Common symptoms include moon face, buffalo hump, weight gain, etc.

(IV) Oral ulcers:

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis often develop oral ulcers after taking immunosuppressants. In addition, they may also experience adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, anorexia, rash, and loss of taste.

Because patients have suffered from the disease for too long and their immune function has declined, they are more susceptible to infection than normal people when certain infectious diseases are prevalent in society.

(VI) Joint dislocation

In severe cases, bone ankylosis and even joint dislocation may occur.
