Abstract

In order to investigate the renal pathology of spontaneously occurring renal lesions, basic macroscopic inspection was conducted to 3,850 pigs randomly collected from local slaughter houses, and a total of 355 pigs (9.2%) were detected with various gross pathological conditions. Renal morphologic patterns for gross lesions were classified histopathologically as 123(34.5%) congestion, 81(22.8%) acute interstitial nephritis, 52(14.7%) chronic interstitial nephritis, 49(13.8%) hemorrhage, 39(11.0%) renal cyst, 29(8.2%) chronic glomerulonephritis, 18(5.1%) acute glomeruonephritis, 14(3.9%) infarction, 11(3.1%) thrombosis, 5(1.4%) atrophy, 5(1.4%) pyelonephritis and 1(0.3%) lymphosarcoma.

Key Words: renal lesion, interstitial nephritis, glomerulonephritis, lymphosarcoma
