Kidney: edema, congestion, urate retention
Morphologic diagnosis:
Right kidney: Moderate edema and congestion with urate retention
Clinical description:
This image was taken 2 days post experimental inoculation with highly pathogenic avian influenza. As observed here, in birds infected with HPAI, the kidneys may become swollen, congested, and plugged with white urate deposits in the renal tubules and ureters.
Pathologic description:
The right kidney (lower) is swollen with an enhanced reticular pattern. The parenchyma is covered by numerous pinpoint white, slightly granular foci (urates). The ureter, seen on the medial edge of the middle kidney lobe, is prominent due to accumulation of urates within the lumen.
