Rheumatoid lung disease is a lung condition associated with rheumatoid arthritis, in which the inflammation characteristic of this autoimmune disease comes to affect the lung tissue and the airways.
Common symptoms: persistent dry cough, shortness of breath with exertion and, at times, chest pain, generally in people who already live with rheumatoid arthritis.
When to see a doctor? It is advisable to seek care if new or worsening respiratory symptoms appear alongside a known joint condition.
Which specialist treats it? It usually requires the joint work of the rheumatologist, the pulmonologist, and the internist. Having these professionals evaluate the case helps understand the extent of the condition.
