Abstract
Description
The scientific review is devoted to one of the urgent problems of modern medicine -kidney damage in rheumatoid arthritis. The issues of prevalence and risk factors of chronic kidney disease are considered. The kidneys are affected by rheumatoid arthritis more often than it is diagnosed. As a result, early diagnosis of kidney damage in RA patients has important clinical and prognostic significance. In rheumatoid arthritis, the occurrence of chronic kidney disease depends primarily on the duration of the disease and the nature of the inflammatory process. The problem of kidney damage in rheumatoid arthritis has been little studied and requires further research.
