The disease is characterised by a high degree of early onset disability. The main causes of death from the disease are infectious complications and renal failure. Rheumatoid arthritis is often accompanied by other joint diseases - osteoarthritis, rheumatism, and systemic connective tissue diseases. Maintaining maximum joint mobility and muscle mass during treatment is crucial. Keywords: Rheumatoid Arthritis, Rheumatism, Osteoarthritis, Systemic Connective Tissue Diseases
