      abstract = {This comprehensive text expounds the pathophysiology,  diagnosis, and treatment of lung disease associated with  rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease that  primarily affects joints. Recent advances in therapy for RA  provide the benefit of achieving a better outcome in  patients with arthritis, and a large number of reports on  RA are now available. Moreover, the American College of  Rheumatology and the European League Against Rheumatism  have proposed guidelines and recommendations for management  of RA patients. Therefore, clinicians around the world can  adequately understand how to manage patients who have joint  symptoms in RA. At the same time, however, the management  of RA patients who have lung problems has not been  disseminated sufficiently, although lung disease is a  common complication in approximately 30–40 %  of patients  with RA. Unfortunately, there has been a lack of tangible  evidence regarding the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and  management of lung disease associated with RA. Each expert  author in this book elucidates the current status of  knowledge about lung disease in RA and the management of RA  patients with lung diseases.  Thus this valuable collection  benefits not only rheumatologists but also respirologists,  radiologists, pathologists, general practitioners, and  medical staff such as nurses who are involved in the  management of RA.},
