Abstract

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease of unknown aetiology that affects 0.5% of the population and can result in disability owing to joint destruction, characterized by joint synovial inflammation and progressive cartilage and bone destruction resulting in gradual immobility. Rheumatoid arthritis risk factors include genetic, hormonal, environmental and nutritional, and socio-economic factors, age and sex, ethnicity, smoking, infections, and so on. Treatment of inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis is practiced based on traditional medicine in many countries. The greatest disadvantage in the presently available potent synthetic drugs lies in their toxicity and reappearance of symptoms after Discontinuation. With limitations of existing drug molecules herbal drugs are gaining interest among RA Patients. Medicinal plants are plants containing inherent active ingredients used to cure disease or relieve symptoms of arthritis. The present review also focuses on the medicinal plants that interact with the mediators of inflammation and are used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Introduction

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a debilitating autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic inflammation of the Synovial joints, leading to pain, swelling, and joint deformities with stiffness, it can also damage both joints and extra-articular organs, including the heart, lung, digestive system, eye, skin and nervous system. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory, systemic, progressive, autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system whose major role is to protect the health by attacking foreign bacteria and viruses are mistakenly, attacking the joints resulting in thickened synovium, pannus formation & destruction of bone, cartilage(1). Many complications can follow such as permanent joint damage requiring arthroplasty, rheumatoid vasculitis and elty’s syndrome requiring splenectomy if it remains unaddressed. Still now researchers are unable to know the exact cause of this disease. However, it is believed that age, gender, genetics and environmental exposure (cigarette smoking, air pollutants and occupational) play a role in development of RA. As there is no cure for RA, the treatment goals are to reduce the pain and stop/slow the further damage. RA aspects between 0.5 And 1% of adults in the developed world with between 5 and 50 per 100,000 people newly developing the condition each year. In autoimmune diseases normally the immune system displays self-tolerance and does not attack the body’s own components. ?Ls self-tolerance Breaks down and leads to an auto-immune disorder. The pathophysiology of RA involves chronic inflammation of the Synovial membrane, which can destroy articular cartilage and juxtaarticular bone. Arthritis is a very common health problem which is cause activity of daily living (ADL)–Related and instrumental activity of daily living (IADL)–related functional disability, Restriction of work and social participation, and fulfilling their life roles. Over 200 diseases may cause arthritis including rheumatoid arthritis, Osteoarthritis, gout, tuberculosis & other infection(2). Most Common types of arthritis are Ankylosing spondylitis, Gout, Juvenile idiopathic arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Psoriatic arthritis, Reactive arthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Septic arthritis, Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease, Crystal arthritis, Bacterial infections, Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Reactive arthritis, Chronic Childhood Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Scleroderma, Post-traumatic arthritis, Hemochromatosis arthritis, Enteropathic arthritis, Vasculitic arthritis, Giant Cell Arteritis, Behçet’s Disease, Relapsing Polychondritis, Gonococcal Arthritis, Pseudogout and Relapsing Polychondritis(3).

Pathophysiology

Rheumatoid arthritis - T lymphocytes (T-cells) binding to antigen and t-cell activation. B cell activation leading to formation of IgM antibody. Antigen-antibody reaction is produce. Formation of Immune complex. The release of Inflammatory chemicals (e.g., IL, NF etc) from inflammatory cells. Inflammatory damage to synovial cavity. Destruction (erosion) of cartilage. Inflammation leads to swelling in synovial membrane and pain around joints(4).

Diagnostic treatment (5)

Medical history

A doctor will ask about your symptoms, any other medical conditions you or your family have, and any medications you are taking.

  • Physical exam: A doctor will check your general health, reflexes, and problem joints.
  • Imaging tests
  • X-rays
  • Ultrasound
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Computed tomography (CT)
  • Blood tests
  • Antinuclear antibody (ANA) test 
  • Complete blood count (CBC) 
  • Creatinine 
  • Sedimentation rate 
  • Rheumatoid factor (RF) and cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody tests 
  • White blood cell count 
  • Uric acid
  • Surgery: Synovectomy is a procedure that removes damaged connective tissue lining a joint cavity.
  • Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) can help with symptom remission if started early
