Difference between Autoimmune disease and Rheumatoid arthritis

Autoimmune disease vs. Rheumatoid arthritis

An autoimmune disease is a condition arising from an abnormal immune response to a normal body part. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term autoimmune disorder that primarily affects joints.

Similarities between Autoimmune disease and Rheumatoid arthritis

Autoimmune disease and Rheumatoid arthritis have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Autoantibody, Autoimmunity, B cell, Cytokine, Fatigue, Fever, Immune system, Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, Organ (anatomy), Rheumatology, Systemic lupus erythematosus, T cell.

Autoantibody

An autoantibody is an antibody (a type of protein) produced by the immune system that is directed against one or more of the individual's own proteins.

Fever

Fever, also known as pyrexia and febrile response, is defined as having a temperature above the normal range due to an increase in the body's temperature set-point.

Immune system

The immune system is a host defense system comprising many biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a drug class that reduce pain, decrease fever, prevent blood clots and, in higher doses, decrease inflammation.

Systemic lupus erythematosus

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), also known simply as lupus, is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue in many parts of the body.
