title: Hereditary hydronephrosis in C57L/MsNrs mice.
abstract: Inbred C57L/MsNrs mice (66 males and 72 females) maintained at the National Institute of Health, Japan, were examined grossly for hydronephrosis. Unlike the hydronephrotic strains of mice reported so far, C57L mice showed no sex-related difference in the incidence (62% in males and 75% in females; P > 0.05) and severity of hydronephrosis. The right kidney was more severely affected than the left kidney in both sexes. Age appeared to have no influence on the incidence.
