Thyroid health and rheumatoid arthritis activity study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at whether mild thyroid problems, called subclinical hypothyroidism, are linked to more active rheumatoid arthritis. If you have rheumatoid arthritis, your thyroid function will be checked to see if it affects your joint symptoms.
