Can rheumatoid arthritis be inherited

summary

Rheumatoid arthritis we all know is a kind of joint disease, so do you know the cause of this disease? Will it be inherited? Next, we will answer the question of whether rheumatoid arthritis can be inherited! 　　

Can rheumatoid arthritis be inherited

First, 28 pairs of twins suffering from rheumatoid arthritis were analyzed abroad. One of 25 pairs suffered from rheumatoid arthritis, and the other three pairs suffered from rheumatoid arthritis. American scholars have investigated the family history of Indian residents with gouty rheumatoid arthritis, and can not conclude that the disease has genetic factors.

Second. The incidence rate of rheumatoid arthritis in rheumatoid arthritis patients is 2~10 times higher than that in healthy families. It was reported that two of 29 pairs of monozygotic twins suffered from rheumatoid arthritis. The other pair lived in two places, but also developed rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 53 and 56. 　　

Third, in our investigation of 100 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, we found that only 5 patients had family history. Some of them had more than one brother and sister suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, and some of them had parents suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. But there is no direct evidence whether it is inherited or not. Because in addition to genetic factors, we should also consider the same family environment, nutritional status, psychological conditions and other aspects.

matters needing attention

In order to reduce the stress of lower limb joints, it is appropriate for patients with rheumatoid arthritis to work in sitting position, but when they need to stand, they should change their position appropriately to reduce joint stiffness and prevent joint contracture.
