Is there a difference between jia and jra? do they both have the same classifications as far as the different types?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Naming: JIA and JRA are the same thing. JRA is an older term, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. JIA is the current term, juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The name was changed from JRA to JIA to reflect that unlike adults with RA, most children have a negative rheumatoid factor blood test.
