There is no specific cause of RA but some factor may play important role in the progress of RA. A blood antibody called "rheumatoid factor" can be found in 80% of patients, is the principle factor for diagnosis RA. The drugs most commonly used in the therapy of RA are the disease modifying antirheumatoid drugs (DMARDS) and the NSAIDS.
