All of the following are true about rheumatoid arthritis except Many patients have autoantibodies against IgG (ie. RF), but a lack of these is not diagnostic Patients will have a low erythrocyte sedimentation rate and have low levels of CRP Pannus - a destructive vascular granulation tissue - cuts off O2 supply to the articular cartilage and bone leading to loss/damage of both tissues. Mild vasculitis, pleuritis and pericarditis affect some patients. Ankylosis & ulnar deviation of the metacarpal-phalangeal joints is typical.
