Abstract

Deaths in young Finnish Landrace lambs with acute mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis were often preceded by a brief clinical illness in which palpable renal enlargement and tenderness, and a variety of signs suggesting central nervous system dysfunction, consistently occurred. In addition to the renal changes found in all affected lambs, severe brain lesions were present at autopsy in 4 lambs which showed prior clinical symptoms. Progressive alterations in plasma urea, albumin, calcium and inorganic phosphate levels were recorded in diseased lambs, albumin and globulins being present in urine in two instances.
