Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can cause kidney problems through disease complications and treatments. Monitoring kidney function in RA patients requires sensitive tests beyond serum creatinine.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Rheumatology
  • Immunology

Context:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease associated with increased mortality.
  • Renal disease and insufficiency are significant contributors to excess mortality in RA patients.

Purpose:

  • To review the renal complications associated with rheumatoid arthritis.
  • To highlight the impact of RA treatments on kidney function.
  • To discuss the direct renal effects of RA and suggest improved monitoring methods.

Summary:

  • Renal issues in RA stem from disease complications like vasculitis and amyloidosis, and treatments including gold salts, penicillamine, and cyclosporine.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis itself can lead to subclinical and clinical kidney disease, including immune-complex glomerulonephritis and interstitial tubular fibrosis.

  • Serum creatinine may overestimate renal function in RA by up to 30%.

    • Impact:

    • Emphasizes the need for sensitive renal function monitoring in RA patients, such as urinary albumin excretion and glomerular filtration rate.
    • Highlights the dual impact of RA disease activity and its treatments on renal health.
    • Underscores the importance of early detection and management of kidney dysfunction in RA for improved patient outcomes.
