Research Notes on Juvenile Rheumatoid Complications
While juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is rarely life-threatening, the disease is not without potential complications. Chronic back stiffness, loss of vision, and total joint destruction can occur as a result of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Seeking treatment early for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis can help to prevent some of these potential complications.1
Fast Facts:
- In some cases of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, bone growth is interrupted.2
- Children diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis should undergo routine eye examinations regularly, as some eye diseases do not present symptoms until the damage has been done to sight.2
- Anemia may also result as a complication of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis treatments.3
