Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a type of common arrhythmia in clinical practice. Renal dysfunction is a commonly concomitant disease in AF patients which increases their risk of stroke, thromboembolism, and bleeding. However, the current understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying renal function deterioration in AF patients remains incomplete. The early identification of high-risk factors for renal function deterioration and the implementation of intervention measures may contribute to a reduced incidence of renal function decline in patients with AF. This article reviews the latest research progress, focusing on the impact of early diastolic blood peak flow velocity of the mitral valve to global diastolic strain rate ratio, left atrial diameter, ankle-brachial index, CHA2DS2-VASc score, and use of anticoagulant drugs on renal function deterioration in patients with AF.
