Rheumatoid Arthritis New Research Breakthroughs Throw New Light!

Often confused with osteo arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis is a far serous and debilitating joint and muscle related health issue

.

While osteo arthritis is commonly found in the elderly people, rheumatoid arthritis can occur to anyone at any age and shockingly at any time as well. It is basically the inflammation of the joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons that leads to a condition wherein the person affected is unable to move the area afflicted without feeling lot of pain and discomfort.

The flexibility around the wrists, fingers, ankles, elbows, etc completely is lost and slowly because of inactivity over an uncertain period of time, there is the real danger of that particular joint or organ completely being deformed as well. When looked at from this perspective, rheumatoid arthritis is indeed a very serious and complex ailment that requires very prompt and effect treatment.

There are treatments available. It is not as if rheumatoid arthritis cannot be cured. Though admittedly getting complete cure of a rheumatoid arthritis is a pretty time consuming affair and it does require quite a bit of discipline and dietary control on the part of the patient. The fact, all the same, remains that there have been lot of research based breakthroughs that have been arrived in this particular field.

For instance, it has been established that the predominance of rheumatoid arthritis more among women is basically to do with their genes. The rheumatoid arthritis is linked to the X chromosome. Now, it is a fact of life that women have two X chromosomes to men who have one X and one Y chromosome each. This is why!

Similarly a new study states that it is in the case of those afflicted with rheumatoid arthritis that the aftermath of a hip surgery usually leads to hip location than in the instances of those suffering from osteo arthritis. Comparatively speaking that is.

Danish researchers, on their part, have added to this already existing body of knowledge regarding the causes, symptoms and signs as also their effective and scientifically acceptable solutions or cure for this wide spread disease.

They have found that women who smoke develop rheumatoid arthritis after they reach the age of 40. The researchers from Denmark also discovered that high blood levels often are accompanied by the presence of the anti body called rheumatoid factor. And this is why people with high blood levels are also prone to come under the effect of rheumatoid arthritis.
