Abstract

Nineteen cases of Albino rat having naturally occurred renal lesions were observed during the routine examination of a total of 240 cases. The lesions observed were focal suppurative nephritis (6 cases), acute nonsuppurative nephritis (3 cases), chronic interstitial nephritis (4 cases), nematode infection in pelvic epithelium (5 cases, in which one case was coincident with focal suppurative nephritis) and unilateral hydronephrosis (2 cases). Gross and microscopic findings for the lesions were described and discussed.
