Las enfermedades reumáticas autoinmunes crónicas son un conjunto de trastornos donde el sistema inmunológico ataca estructuras del propio cuerpo del paciente, lo cual le provoca daños generalizados en tejidos y órganos, lo que a su vez va asociado con mayor morbilidad y mortalidad. Sus manifestaciones clínicas pueden variar significativamente entre los individuos, lo que conlleva a que tanto el diagnóstico como el tratamiento se compliquen.
Entre las principales enfermedades reumáticas autoinmunes crónicas se encuentra la artritis reumatoide que es una enfermedad inflamatoria crónica que afecta principalmente a las articulaciones y cuyos síntomas fundamentales son el dolor, la rigidez matutina y la inflamación en las articulaciones; si no se trata adecuadamente pueden aparecer deformidades permanentes.
También está el lupus eritematoso sistémico que puede afectar cualquier órgano y sistema; se caracteriza por un conjunto de síntomas variados que van desde erupciones cutáneas hasta problemas renales graves afectando fundamentalmente a mujeres jóvenes.
