Abstract

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a group of chronic childhood arthropathies in which various joints are affected. Along with the joints being involved, long-standing arthritis can lead to other systemic involvements. Eyes, kidneys, and skin are some examples. It is no surprise that we come across many patients suffering from renal complications due to long-standing JIA. This systematic review aimed to focus on the renal involvement seen in JIA and the use of monoclonal antibodies in its treatment. A systematic review was performed using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines and researching studies on databases like PubMed, PubMed Central, and Google Scholar on June 26, 2022. Assessment tools like Cochrane, SANRA, and JBI Tool were used for quality assessment and the selection of articles. Followed by the quality assessment, seven studies were included in the final selection. These were two randomized control trials, four case reports, and one literature review. In conclusion, many cases involving renal complications along with JIA were seen, and Tocilizumab has proved to be efficacious in improving renal complications in JIA. This review encourages further study and research into the topic to understand the effects on JIA and the use of monoclonal antibodies as therapy.
