Die Nierenbeteiligung bei rheumatologischen Erkrankungen spielt eine große diagnostische, prognostische und therapeutische Rolle im klinischen Alltag. Bei Vaskulitiden und Kollagenosen ist die Nierenfunktion in die Standarddiagnostik miteinbezogen. Weniger bekannt ist eine Nierenbeteiligung bei der rheumatoiden Arthritis, obwohl eine solche Manifestation nicht selten ist. Die Klinik zeigt, dass neben medikamentös-toxischen Effekten auch echte renale Manifestationen vorkommen. Sekundäre Amyloidosen und Vaskulitiden sowie Glomerulonephritiden stehen hier im Vordergrund und können in Kombination mit medikamentös bedingten glomerulären und tubulointerstitiellen Schäden zu differenzialdiagnostischen Problemen führen.

In the management of rheumatologic diseases, renal involvement plays a major diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic role in daily clinical practice. In connective tissue diseases, e. g. renal manifestations are frequently observed to affect both prognosis and therapeutic approach. Renal involvement in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is less well known, but not necessarily rare. Besides drug-induced toxic effects, own renal manifestations of this autoimmune disease can be observed. Secondary amyloidosis and vasculitis, as well as glomerulonephritis, play an important role and in combination with drug-induced glomerular and tubulo-interstitial damage, they can often lead to diagnostic and therapeutic problems.
