Abstract:
Characterized by chronic arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) refers to a group of rheumatic diseases in children with unknown causes and strong clinical heterogeneity.Most patients have good prognosis, while some may be involved with important extra-articular organs and tissues, including cardiac system damage, pulmonary or pleural lesions, renal amyloid degeneration, uveitis, and so on.Delay in diagnosis and treatment may lead to short-term and/or long-term involvement in vital systems, thus resulting in the aggravation of the disease or poor prognosis, which may decrease their life quality and even threaten their life.Understanding the extra-articular manifestations of JIA is very important to manage disease.
