In rheumatoid diseases in order to assess stage of disease and effectiveness of therapy there is a need of continuous monitoring. At this purpose we assess evaluation of disease activity, stage of joints damage and loss of mobility function. This paper presents classification of disease activity according to DAS, DAS28, Ritche’s and Lansbury’s indices, stages of joint damage according to Steinbrocker’s, Larsen-Dale’s and Sharp’s and loss of function according to Steinbrocker’s and HAQ questionnaire.
