Современное Состояние Диагностики И Лечения Ревматоидного Артрита

Abstract

Early diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis can prevent or significantly slow the progression of joint damage in almost 90% of patients, thereby preventing irreversible disability. The development of new instruments to measure disease activity and detect the presence or absence of remission has facilitated new treatment strategies for stopping rheumatoid arthritis before joints are permanently damaged. The results were improved by recognizing the benefits of early diagnosis and early therapy with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). The goal of treatment is remission or a state of at least low disease activity, which should be achieved within 6 months.
