patho of rheumatoid arthritis - ANSWER-1. A genetically susceptible person
has an immune response to an antigen.
2. The antigen triggers the formation of an abnormal IgG called rheumatoid
factor, which reacts with IgG to form immune complexes.
3. Immune complexes are deposited into the synovial membranes in joints,
which produces synovial inflammation and swelling.
4. As the joint lining expands, it will damage the bone, tendons, and
ligaments.
5. T and B cells activate neutrophils and macrophages which produce
cytokines.
6. Inflammation causes pannus to form.
7. Pannus invades and destroys the articular cartilage.
8. As the cartilage wears down, the space between the bone narrows.
Eventually the bones will rub against each other and fuse together
(ankylosis).
9. Destructive, irreversible changes eventually leads to reduced joint
mobility, joint instability, and muscle atrophy.
10. Immune complexes can also be deposited into the lungs, pericardium,
sclera, and in subcutaneous tissue.
