How are the kidneys affected in rheumatoid arthritis?

What HLA molecule is associated with Rheumatoid arthritis?
HLA-DRB1

What is “pannus” and why does it form in Rheumatoid arthritis?
Pannus is an abnormal layer of fibrovascular tissue or granulation tissue. Inflammation and exuberant proliferation of the synovium leads to the formation of pannus and destruction of cartilage, bone, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels.
What is Rice-body formation? What disease is it associated with?
it’s a nonspecific response to chronic synovial inflammation. Rice bodies appear as grains of polished rice, they’re composed of an acidophilic collagenous center and are encased in fibrin. Associated with RA.

ones with high RF value Rheumatoid factors (RFs) are IgM's against IgG's
What are Rheumatoid nodules made up of?
fibrinoid necrosis surrounded by epitheloid cells
