About this book

Understanding the key components of the diagnosis, assessment and management of inflammatory arthritis patients is essential to improving patient care. This book aims to cover these areas. It places inflammatory arthritis into a historical context; deals with the epidemiology, pathology, clinical assessment and investigation of inflammatory arthritis patients and provides a comprehensive overview of currently available treatment options. It provides insight into stratified medicine, an area of emerging importance in the management of heterogeneous diseases like RA. Finally, it provides an overview of what treatments strategies are in development.
