abstract = {Juvenile idiopathic arthritis JIA is the most common condition of childhood rheumatic diseases. It is not known, the overall prevalence of renal involvement in patients with JIA, considered a rare occurrence. Objective: To describe renal involvement in children diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in the Colsubsidio Children Clinic, children attended in the period between March 2006 and March 2010.
Materials and methods: Retrospective descriptive case series. Patients were selected of the Colsubsidio children Clinical, with subsequent systematic review of the medical records. We created the data base in Excel 2007. Statistical analysis was performed using the statistical software STATA 10.1 
Results: 35 patients were male (30.43%) and 80 female patients (69.57%).With a median age of 7 years. The prevalence of renal involvement in this population was 30.43%. The relationship proteinuria / creatinuria  and  the variable 24-hour proteinuria show a statistically significant difference. Renal biopsy was performed in 3 patients (2.61% of the population), found in three patients a result of minimal change nephropathy. We found statistically significant differences in the use of prednisolone, oral and intravenous methotrexate in patients with renal involvement. 
Conclusions: Renal involvement  represents a major complication and not so uncommon in patients with JIA. A higher prevalence of renal involvement in patients with JIA who used intravenous methotrexate and prednisolone, although this not represents a causal association. we suggest a prospective study.},
