Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an auto-immune inflammatory progressive disorder which in the absence of appropriate treatment can lead to joint destruction and disability in the long run. Prognosis of RA may be predicted based on the presence of clinical and laboratory evidences. New criteria for classification of RA provide opportunity for earlier treatment. Hence this article reviews the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
