The Causes Rheumatoid Arthritis Exactly what causes rheumatoid arthritis and why is unknown to researchers, but from what scientists gather it is a myriad of different genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors that contribute to create rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis triggers the body’s immune system in such a way that it actually attacks the joints as well as organs. When the immune system is once triggered, cells the blood move into the joints and the connective tissue lining – these cells are called synovium. It is then that these cells produce inflammation within the joint. As the cells increase in number and attacks become more frequent, there is irritation as the cartilage is worn down. As a result, the inflammation caused by the irritation produces an excessive amount of fluid.
