The disease occurs at all ages affects ethnic groups. For early diagnosis progression rheumatoid might be useful for to better treatment the patients.

All subjects' biochemical, activity score, RA factor,ESR Arthritis Patients serum levels assessed. SPSS Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets used conduct necessary statistical analysis. Results: shown significantly higher fasting blood sugar, postprandial sugars ,triglycerides , factor, ESR when compared controls (P=0.001**). Additionally we also discovered considerably elevated (P= 0.001**). Furthermore there was very high significant positive correlation between ESR.
