Association of rheumatoid arthritis with chronic kidney disease
RA is associated with a higher prevalence of CKD, primarily driven by albuminuria at preserved kidney function. This distinct renal phenotype appears largely mediated by metabolic comorbidities rather than inflammation alone. Our findings highlight the need for systematic albuminuria screening in RA patients to enable earlier detection and intervention.
