Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) represents the most prevalent endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age, affecting approximately 5-18% of females worldwide. Characterized by irregular ovulation, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovaries, hyperandrogenism is the defining feature. Recent evidence highlights that, in addition to its notable reproductive and metabolic consequences, PCOS may also contribute to an elevated risk of renal complications. This increased risk is attributed to chronic low-grade inflammation, hormonal dysregulation, and disturbances in lipid metabolism inherent to the condition. However, the pathological mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and progression of secondary renal damage in this cohort remain insufficiently studied. This review consolidates current understanding of the relationship between PCOS and chronic kidney disease (CKD), aiming to clarify potential mechanisms by which PCOS may induce secondary renal dysfunction, encompassing both direct renal impairment and indirect damage mediated through systemic alterations. Furthermore, it advocates for comprehensive management strategies to mitigate renal risks in patients with PCOS, emphasizing the necessity of multidisciplinary approaches and further research to address these critical gaps.
