Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) itself does not directly cause liver nodules, but it can be associated with certain conditions that might affect the liver. For example, individuals with RA may have an increased risk of developing liver disease due to the effects of medications used for treatment, such as methotrexate, or due to secondary conditions like autoimmune hepatitis. Additionally, some patients may develop liver nodules as a result of other underlying issues, such as fatty liver disease or cirrhosis, which can be more prevalent in those with chronic inflammatory states. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
