Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most common chronic inflammatory diseases of the joints (about 1% in the population), has a steadily progressive, relapsing course with exacerbations and periodically decreasing activity, is characterized by progressive synovitis , damage to the articular cartilage and bone marginal zones. The development and progression of the pathological process in the joints occurs in the first years of the disease, so the “window of therapeutic opportunities” is small, and the problems of early diagnosis and pharmacotherapy of this disease are relevant.
