Abstract

In order to investigate the prevalence and pattern of renal lesions in sows, 250 kidneys collected from abattoir were examined grossly and histopathologically. The prevalence of renal lesions in sows was 46.8% (l17/250). Main gross findings were consisted of congestion and/or petechiation (21.6%), cortical enlargement (15.2%), renal cysts (6.0%), abscessation (4.4%), and infarction (1.5%). Principle microscopic lesions were composed of interstitial nephritis (25.6% ), glomerulosclerosis (13.6%), glomerular thrombosis (3.6%), amyloidosis (2.0%) and glomerulosclerosis (2.0%) Sixty four kidneys with interstitial nephritis was classified by 46 chronic and 18 acute cases. Among 34 kidneys with glomerulonephritis, there were divided into 18 membranous type, 9 proliferative type and 7 membranoproliferative type. For these results, it was confirmed that sows raised in Kwangju and Chonnam areas had been affected by a variety of pathological renal lesions.
