Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease. The main characteristic of RA is persistent joint inammation resulting in joint damage and loss of function. Rheumatoid arthritis may lead to a variety of extra articular manifestations. Extra-articular organ involvement in RA is more frequently seen in patients with severe, active disease and is associated with increased mortality. The occurrence of these systemic manifestations is a major predictor of mortality in patients with RA. [1] Our case series attempts to provide a glimpse into the various extra articular manifestations of Rheumatoid arthritis. In total, 3 patients have been included for this case series. All 3 patients were a known case of Rheumatoid arthritis who presented with extra articular manifestations at MGM hospital, Kamothe.
