Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an immune inflammatory (autoimmune) rheumatic disease of unknown etiology, which is characterized by chronic erosive arthritis and systemic damage to the viscera, and leads to early disability and reduced survival in patients. For its diagnosis, it is currently recommended to use the 2010 ACR/EULAR classification criteria for RA, which should be applied in clinical trials to identify at least one swollen joint, i.e. the presence of arthritis; therefore, the problem of extra-articular manifestations of RA is apparent to stay in the background.
