Used book – Adult Rheumatoid Arthritis, Menkès

Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common chronic inflammatory joint disease, affecting approximately 600,000 people in France. It is a highly disabling disease with diverse forms and variable progression. Early diagnosis is crucial as it allows for prompt treatment initiation and thus prevents or limits joint destruction. In this practical and educational book, practitioners will find all essential information on clinical presentation, diagnosis, additional tests, progression, possible treatments, and patient education. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to how to adapt treatments to each patient and their follow-up. This book enables the doctor, as the primary contact for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, to improve their daily lives. As rheumatoid arthritis is both a systemic disease and a collection of local diseases, general practitioners will be able to position themselves within the care system and teamwork in which the rheumatologist, surgeon, rehabilitation specialist, psychologist, and they themselves all play an important role.
