Overview
Causes
The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is idiopathic but genetic, environmental, hormonal, immunologic, infectious factors, socioeconomic, psychological, and lifestyle factors play important role in the development of rheumatoid arthritis.
- Genetic factors:[1]
- In United States, HLA-DR4 cluster(HLA-DR beta *0401, 0404, or 0405,) part of one of the peptide-binding sites of certain HLA-DR molecules associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
- In European countries, HLA-DR1 (HLA-DR beta *0101) is associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
- Infectious agents: Various infectious agents involved in rheumatoid arthritis are:[2][3]
- Mycoplasma
- Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)
- Rubella virus
- Porphyromonas gingivalis
- Hormonal factors:[4]
- Hyperprolactinemia
- Environmental factors:
- Smoking increases the risk of development of rheumatoid arthritis.
- Lifestyle factors:
- Obesity
- Poor health
