Oxalate nephrosis in Macaca fascicularis.
Crystals within the renal proximal convoluted tubules of several cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fasciculata) were investigated by light and scanning electron microscopy together with histochemistry and X-ray microanalysis techniques. The crystals were shown to have the physical structure and staining characteristics of calcium oxalate monohydrate. The incidence varied between different batches of animals and no definite cause was established.
