Abstract
In the present investigation, a total number of 575 specimens of sheep kidney were examined irrespective of age, sex and breed. Out of these 575 specimens, 139 specimens (24.17%) of kidneys, grossly suspected of abnormalities were collected and further processed for histopathological examination. The overall occurrence of glomerulonephritis in the kidney of sheep was observed and classified based on histopathological evaluation as acute glomerulonephritis in 14 cases (10.07%), sub-acute glomerulonephritis in 11 cases (7.91%) and chronic glomerulonephritis in 7 cases (5.04%). Grossly, enlarged, pale, soft, and oedematous kidneys were observed in acute glomerulonephritis. The sub-acute glomerulonephritis showed enlarged, soft and pale kidneys with non-adherent capsules whereas in chronic glomerulonephritis kidneys were constricted and shrunken with fine granular surface. Microscopically, swollen glomerular tufts and decreased capsular space with infiltration of polymorphonuclear leucocytes in and around renal tubules were observed in acute glomerulonephritis. Sub-acute glomerulonephritis showed enlarged glomeruli, proliferation of mesangial cells, and formation of epithelial crescents whereas cases of chronic glomerulonephritis showed decreased cellularity and increased capsular space in glomerular tufts with periglomerular fibrosis.
