“…Mahallawy and Sabour (1959) also reported similar appearances in renal biopsy material from five cases of rheumatoid arthritis, and arterial narrowing has been noted in other renal biopsy studies (Brun and others, 1965;Pasternack and others, 1967).…”

“…Necrotizing arteritis is known to be rare. Bywaters (1957) described an obliterative endarteritis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, subcutaneous nodules, and peripheral gangrene, and Mahallawy and Sabour (1959) reported similar appearances in five renal biopsies. Later investigators, such as Brun and others (1965) and Pollak, Pirani, Steck, and Kark (1962), noted obliterative vascular changes but ascribed them to arteriosclerosis.…”

“…These lesions are found only in our old patients, and do not differ from what can be found in other padent groups. We were not able to confirm the presence of a 'rheumatoid' vascular lesion as de scribed by M ahallawy and Sabour, 1959 (22).…”

A total of 32 percutaneous renal biopsies were examined from patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The renal biopsies in these patients present a very heterogeneous picture; there were 9 cases of chronic interstitial nephritis and 4 cases of amyloidosis. In one patient whose renal biopsy showed glomerulitis, a muscle biopsy resulted in a diagnosis of polyarteritis nodosa. 11 biopsies showed a normal histology, and 6 showed arteriosclerosis of the small arteries. Finally, 1 patient showed so-called membranous glomerulonephritis; this may have been the coincidental presence of 2 diseases. We were unable to confirm the existence of a vascular rheumatoid lesion, as previously reported in the litterature. Employing a technique which permitted a quantitative evaluation of the nuclear distribution in the glomeruli, this distribution was examined in the biopsies from 28 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and in 11 patients with gallstones, but with normal renal function and normal blood pressure. The presence of a glomerular hypercellularity in rheumatoid arthritis, as has previously been claimed was not confirmed. It was likewise not possible to demonstrate local hypercellularity in the glomeruli of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and normal renal biopsies.
