A comparative study of renal dysfunction in patients with inflammatory arthropathies: strong association with cardiovascular diseases and not with anti-rheumatic therapies, inflammatory markers or duration of arthritis

Abstract

Patients with inflammatory arthritis are more prone to have CKD. This could have serious implications, as the majority of rheumatology patients use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and different immunosuppressives, such as methotrexate. No association of kidney dysfunction was noted with inflammatory disease-specific characteristics; rather it appears to have a positive independent association with cardiovascular diseases.

Comprehensive Treatment of Psoriatic Arthritis: Managing Comorbidities and Extraarticular Manifestations

“…Fatty liver disease. Specific to PsA, the prevalence of reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate was 16% in patients with "seronegative arthritis" (patients with PsA and undifferentiated oligoarthritis), statistically similar to patients with RA (19%) 31 . Studies examining this relationship in patients with PsA are limited.…”

Increased risk of glomerulonephritis and chronic kidney disease in relation to the severity of psoriasis, concomitant medication, and comorbidity: a nationwide population-based cohort study

“…2,5 Most psoriasis-associated comorbidities, such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperuricemia and insulin resistance, have also been proposed to be risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the general population. [8][9][10][11] The prevalence of CKD in rheumatoid arthritis has been reported as 5-50% depending on the criteria used to define CKD. [8][9][10][11] The prevalence of CKD in rheumatoid arthritis has been reported as 5-50% depending on the criteria used to define CKD.…”
