Abstract
Two cases of classical rheumatoid arthritis complicated by the development of a glomerulopathy independently of drug treatment are presented. Renal biopsy showed membranous glomerulonephritis in one case and fusion of foot processes in the second. The literature is reviewed and the possible relationships between rheumatoid arthritis and these glomerulopathies are discussed. The authors conclude to the absence of causal relationship between these two diseases.
