  • Title: Haematuria in rheumatoid arthritis: an association with mesangial glomerulonephritis.
    Author: Hordon LD, Sellars L, Morley AR, Wilkinson R, Thompson M, Griffiths ID.
    Journal: Ann Rheum Dis; 1984 Jun; 43(3):440-3. PubMed ID: 6742907.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-four patients with rheumatoid arthritis and isolated haematuria were investigated for the cause of their haematuria. In 3 patients local urological disorders were identified, including a pelvicaliceal carcinoma. Renal biopsies were performed on the remaining 21 patients, and the most common abnormality found was a mild mesangial glomerulonephritis (71%). Immunofluorescence and electron microscopy in these patients usually gave normal results. The lesions occurred independently of gold or D-penicillamine therapy and were not associated with impairment of glomerular function.
