The size of the invaded joints varies depending on the type of disease.  3, heterogeneity, that is, the same disease, there are different subtypes, due to the genetic background, different causes of pathogenesis, the mechanism also varies, and therefore the type of clinical manifestations, symptoms, severity and treatment response is not the same.  4, rheumatic diseases are mostly diseases that invade multiple systems, many diseases have overlapping pathologies and similar symptoms, and certain diseases can be a system of a certain performance as the first manifestation.  5.A variety of antibodies and immune complexes (CIC) appear in the serum, and can be deposited in the tissue (skin, synovial membrane) or organs (kidney, liver) to cause disease.  6, Raynaud’s phenomenon is often seen in this type of disease, such as SLE, MCTD.
