Abstract

Uremia was diagnosed in a slaughtered 20-month old bull. It had no special clinical signs, but many lesions associated with uremia were observed at postmortem inspection. It had a lot of ascites. Kidney, urinary bladder and ureter were enlarged, congested and hemorrhagic, and the incised section of those slightly smelled nasty. However, the precise cause of uremia in this case could not be completely identified.
