Types of Renal Disease in Avian Species 2006-01-07 .txt text/plain 2908 229 40 Renal lesions caused by C psittaci are characterized by interstitial inflammation composed primarily of histiocytes, plasma cells, and lymphocytes, with intracytoplasmic organisms seen in histiocytes in some cases. Both primary and secondary lesions may occur in nonbudgerigar psittacine birds with avian polyomavirus disease [32, 33] . Avian renal disease has a wide variety of noninfectious causes. High-cholesterol diets have also been associated with diffuse renal disease, including proliferative glomerulopathy, periglomerular fibrosis, multifocal interstitial nephritis, and lipid-laden cells within the glomeruli of pigeons [52] . Iron storage disease primarily affects the liver, but iron pigment is also seen in renal tubular cells in many affected birds. Aminoglycoside toxicity results in kidney enlargement and changes resembling those seen with other causes of renal failure [62] . Excessive salt ingestion leads to renal problems that result in urate deposition and gross and histologic lesions [72, 73] . ./cache/cord-273915-jpzvjl0i.txt ./txt/cord-273915-jpzvjl0i.txt
