The joints are most commonly affected by rheumatoid arthritis, followed by the part of the eye known as Sclera, in which case it is called Scleromacia. It can also affect the cornea, and it is called corneal melt. It can affect the lungs, causing rheumatoid nodules, due to which oxygenation is impaired and hence affects the heart too. It can also cause fluid collection in the lungs, called Serositis. The same condition can occur in the heart region, called pericardial effusion. Rheumatoid arthritis can affect the blood causing anaemia, and also impact the spleen, an organ involved in the immune system.
