The use of etanercept in rheumatoid arthritis patients with end-stage renal failure has not been well reported. We report here the case of 58-years-old patient who was treated with 50 mg of etanercept once a week to control the activity of her disease. The patient improved after starting the treatement. No serious infectious complication or side effects were seen. The follow-up was 18 months. Our case showed the safety and efficacity of etanercept rheumatoid arthritis in patient with end-stage renal failure.
