While RA occurs in adults, JIA affects children under 16 and can sometimes persist into adulthood. • ✔️ JIA includes various types, including oligoarticular, polyarticular, enthesitis related, psoriatic and Systemic JIA, each is distinct with their own characteristics. • ✔️ Diagnosing JIA is tricky as most types do not have a positive rheumatoid factor blood test, unlike RA. Pediatric rheumatologists, who are rare, are typically needed for accurate diagnosis and treatment. • ✔️ Children with JIA have a higher risk of developing uveitis (eye inflammation) compared to those with RA, often requiring regular eye exams. • ✔️ Treatment for JIA can be more nuanced as some children may outgrow the disease, especially those with oligoarticular JIA. However, those with polyarticular JIA and a positive rheumatoid factor often continue to have symptoms into adulthood. • ⏱️Time Stamps: • 0:00 Intro • 0:40 What is JIA • 3:02 The Rheumatoid Factor in JIA • 4:06 Kids are not small adults • 5:14 Uveitis risk in JIA • 5:55 Some JIA will disappear • 6:46 Convo Starters (Qs for you and your Doc) • ⌨️ Contact us for business inquiries: [email protected] • **Please note - we do not provide medical advice, opinions or diagnosis via email, phone or social media messaging. • 👩🏻‍⚕️ About me: • Hello!
