CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE IN PATIENTS WITH RHEUMOTOID ARTHRITIS: OPTIONS AND RISK FACTORS OF KIDNEY DAMAGE

Abstract

Scientific review intended risk factors for kidney damage in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The issues of prevalence and risk factors of chronic kidney disease are considered. According to recent studies, chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with RA is significantly more common. The kidneys are affected in rheumatoid arthritis more often than it is diagnosed. As a result, early diagnosis of kidney damage in patients with rheumatoid arthritis has an important clinical and prognostic value. In rheumatoid arthritis, the occurrence of chronic kidney disease depends primarily on the duration of the disease and the nature of the inflammatory process. A higher incidence of RA among first-degree relatives of patients was established than in the general population. These data are fully confirmed at the present time. The problem of kidney damage in rheumatoid arthritis is poorly understood and requires further research.
