 Rheumatoid arthritis(RA)is characterized by chronic synovitis and RANKL-dependent osteoclastogenesis leading to bone damage, which causes severe physical disability. Focal and systemic bone and cartilage destruction including secondary osteoporosis contributes to the morbidity associated with RA. The biologics targeting TNF and IL-6 has revolutionized the treatment of RA, producing significant improvements in clinical and structural outcomes. Furthermore, an anti-RANKL antibody denosumab possesses a potential to inhibit joint destruction as well as systemic osteoporosis. Targeting RANKL therapy will most likely enlarge the possibilities of osteoporosis treatment and improve the prognosis in RA patients.
