What is the Cause and Pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Causes of Rheumatoid Arthritis

The modern medicine believes that rheumatoid arthritis is a kind of autoimmune disease caused by multiple factors. The common causes of rheumatoid arthritis are as follows:
1, genetic factor: rheumatoid arthritis has the family genetic predisposition. Most patients , about 80%, have the family medical history of rheumatoid arthritis.
2, infection factors: virus, mycoplasma, bacteris and other infection factors all can contribute to the attack of rheumatoid arthritis.
3, endocrine factor: the clinical records show that people with poor endocrine system are more likely to be attacked by rheumatoid arthritis.
4, other factors: such as cold and damp environment, smoking, operation of deliver and excessive fatigue all the possible cause for rheumatoid arthritis.
The above mentioned factors can lead to the immunoreactions of the immune system, secreting a large quantity of immune globulin and forming antigen-antibody complex which will deposit in the articulation. The series of reaction will lead to artromeningits (the main pathological change of rheumatoid arthritis is the so-called arthromeningitis) and the deformity of articulation.
In the final analysis, rheumatoid arthritis is a kind of immune system disease. And on the foundation of persistent clinical research and international communication, Hou Liping Rheumatoid Hospital developed the Hou’s therapy, which plays a role of adjusting and improving the autoimmune system during the long-term treatment.
