Treatment Targets for Rheumatoid Arthritis in Patients with Renal Impairment

Treatment Strategy

  • The European League Against Rheumatism recommends aiming for remission or low disease activity as the treatment target in patients with renal impairment, similar to those without renal impairment 1, 3
  • The treatment approach should involve assessing response within 3 months and adjusting therapy if the target is not reached, according to the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases 1, 3
