This study checks how well the kidneys are working in people with rheumatoid arthritis using simple blood and urine tests. It aims to find early signs of kidney problems before they become serious, so they can be managed better.

This study looks at a new blood test that might help doctors diagnose rheumatoid arthritis, especially for people who don't have the usual markers in their blood. It could help more people get the right diagnosis earlier.
This study looks at lung health in people with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It may help doctors understand how RA affects the lungs soon after diagnosis and guide better care.
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.
This study looks at people with very early rheumatoid arthritis to see if a simple blood test and an ultrasound of the neck can show early signs of heart artery damage. The goal is to catch heart disease risk sooner in RA patients.
This study looks at whether simple blood tests (like the complete blood count) can help detect when rheumatoid arthritis is active, compared with standard blood tests for inflammation. If you have RA, this could help guide your doctor in managing your condition.
This study follows different groups of people—from those at high risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis to those recently diagnosed—to learn more about the disease. By joining, you help researchers understand who gets RA and why, which may lead to earlier detection and better care.
