title: Semiquantitative histological examinations of the kidneys of rabbits (64-day, 100-day and 212-day series) with experimentally induced pyelonephritis.
abstract: The kidneys of each 8 rabbits of a 64-day series (group E) and a 100-day series (group F) and of 6 rabbits of a 212-day series (group G) with experimentally induced unilateral hematogenous obstructive E. coli pyelonephritis were histologically examined and the glomerular and tubular lesions quantitatively evaluated using an ocular micrometer. An attempt was made to correlate the morphological changes with the results of simultaneous enzyme analyses (acid and alkaline phosphatases, glutaminase I).
