What is rheumatoid arthritis?
We advise patients from Baku not to interrupt the course — even when feeling better, checkpoints matter. We advise patients from Baku to track their progress systematically. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, causing inflammation, pain, and destruction of joint tissues.
The disease most often develops between ages 30 and 50; women are affected 2–3 times more often than men.
Causes of development
- Genetic predisposition—presence of certain HLA genes
- Infections—viral and bacterial
- Hormonal factors—changes in hormonal balance
- Smoking—increases the risk of developing RA
Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis
- Morning joint stiffness (more than 30 minutes)
- Symmetric involvement of small joints of the hands and feet
- Joint swelling and redness
- Joint pain
- Joint deformity at late stages
- General weakness, increased fatigue
- Low-grade fever (37–38°C)
- Weight loss
- Muscle pain
Frequently asked questions (FAQ) — approach for Baku
RA is chronic—the goals are to control inflammation, relieve pain, and slow joint damage. Many patients achieve long remission with the right course. We do not promise instant cures; therapy is tailored to stage and labs.
No. Our approach is drug therapy without surgery in early and moderate stages. Surgery is considered for severe deformity; we aim to prevent reaching that point.
Prolonged morning stiffness is an important sign, but diagnosis is based on symptoms plus tests (ESR, CRP, rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP, examination). Book a consultation to review your results.
Helpful: complete blood count, ESR, CRP, rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP, joint X-ray or MRI if available, and reports from other doctors. If you have none yet, we will advise what to order first.
Yes. Send existing lab results via Telegram or WhatsApp to start. Many patients travel from across Uzbekistan and the CIS for in-person stages; follow-up can continue between visits as agreed.
