Incidence and pathology of kidney lesions of cattle slaughtered at abattoir

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the incidence of lesions and pathologic findings in the kidneys collected from the cattle slaughtered at Elazığ abattoirs. For this purpose kidneys of 1531 cattle were examined. Pathologic lesions were detected in 80 kidneys belonging to 64 cattle (4.18%). These lesions included hemorrhagic infarctus in 3 (0.19%), acut ischemic tubuler necrosis in 1 (0.06%), mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis in 2 (0.13%), granulomatouse nephritis in 3 (0.19%), focal purulent interstitial nehpritis in 2 (0.13%), diffuse nonprulent interstitial nephritis in 4 (0.26%), focal nonprulent interstitial nephritis in 31 (2.02%), pyelonephritis in 10 (0.65%), hydronephrosis in 6 (0.39%) and nephrolithiasis in 10 (0.65%) cattle.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Elazığ mezbahalarında kesilen sığırlarda böbrek lezyonlarının insidensi ve patolojik bulgularının ortaya konulması amaçlandı. Bu amaçla, 1531 adet sığırın böbrekleri incelendi ve 64’ünde (% 4.18) böbrek lezyonları saptandı. Böbreklerinde lezyon tespit edilen sığırların 3’ünde (% 0.19) hemorajik infarktus, 1’inde (% 0.06) akut iskemik tubuler nefrozis, 2’sinde (% 0.13) mezangiyoproliferatif glomerulonefritis, 3’ünde (% 0.19) granulomatöz nefritis, 2’sinde (% 0.13) fokal irinli interstisyel nefritis, 4’ünde (% 0.26) diffuz irinsiz interstisyel nefritis, 31’inde (% 2.02) fokal irinsiz interstisyel nefritis, 10’unda (% 0.65) piyelonefritis, 6’sında (% 0.39) hidronefroz ve 10’unda (% 0.65) böbrek taşı tespit edildi.
