Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most common chronic inflammatory diseases. It mainly involves joints, as well as extra-articular organs. The extra-articular manifestations (EAM) are more common in patients with severe active disease, and the mortality of RA patients with EAM is 2.5 times of RA patients without EAM. Renal damage is rare in EAM, which mainly includes renal damage associated with RA itself, renal amyloidosis, and drug-induced secondary renal damage. In recent years, researches on RA renal damage have gradually increased, and mainly focused on therapy and prognosis. The recent research progress of RA renal damage are summarized in this review.
