Rheumatoid arthritis is the autoimmune disorder that attacks the synovial membranes of joints and other tissues.
glomerulonephritis
Arthritis primarily affects the joints in the body, leading to inflammation, pain, and stiffness. The immune system mistakenly attacks the synovium, the lining of the joints, in autoimmune forms like rheumatoid arthritis. This can result in damage to cartilage, bones, and surrounding tissues over time. Other types, such as osteoarthritis, involve the wear and tear of cartilage rather than an immune response.

The condition you're describing is likely rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the joints and connective tissues. In RA, the immune system mistakenly attacks the synovial membrane, leading to inflammation, thickening, and potential ankylosis (fusion) of the joints. This can result in pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility, significantly impacting quality of life. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to managing symptoms and preventing joint damage.
You are referring to autoimmune disease - there are many depending on what systems in the body are effected.Graves disease and Hashimoto thyroiditis are forms of autoimmune thyroid disease -Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints -Lupus is a condition characterized by chronic inflammation of body tissues, also autoimmune -Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease of the connective tissue, it causes scar tissue to form where there is no injury -
