Nephrocalcinosis in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) II: Macroscopic pathology, moderate and severe cases
In kidney and other such organs, such as the stomach and the muscle.
The sub-clinical condition of the disease can be diagnosed through histology (kidney, stomach), associated to the monitoring of variables, such as the hematocrit and the creatinine.
The clincal condition can be evaluated according to the severity of the macroscopic findings, having a scale to classify the degree that the kidney has been affected and signs present in other organs.
Introduction
The clincal classification of nephrocalcinosis is based on the degree that the kidney has been affected and the external clinical signs such as exophthalmos and swollen belly and the internal signs, such as ascites, pale liver and other.
Table 1 shows the criteria used for classifying the clincal Nephrocalcinosis. The prognosis of the affected batch depends on how often and how severe is the condition.
Table 1: Clincal criteria for classifying nephrocalcinosis
La nefrocalcinosis es una condición carcaterizada por el depósito calcáreos en preferentemente en riñón y otros órganos tales como estómago y músculo.
La condición subclínica de la enfermedad puede ser diagnósticada mediante histología (riñón, estómago), asciada al monitoreo de variables tales como hematocrito y creatinina.
La condición clínica puede ser evaluada mediante la severidad de los hallazgos macroscópicos, habiéndose propuesto una escala de acuerdo al grado de afección del riñón y presencia de signos en otros órganos.
Condition of the disease |
Morphological findings
|
Slight |
Isolated calcareous deposits, affecting less than 50% of the length of the ureters. The population shows decrease in growth and increase in the conversion factor.
|
Moderate |
Over 50% of the length of the ureters shows calcareous deposits. You can see that they are dilated. In some conditions you can see that the later part of the kidney is affected and renomegaly affecting less than 30%. The population shows a decrease in their growth and an increase in the conversion factor.
|
Severe |
Over 50% of the ureters show marked calcareous deposits. The ureters are dilated and snake like. Externally the fish show abdominal dilation. Internally, you can see ascites, pale liver, pale kidney, renomegaly. The population shows a decrease in the growth and increase in the conversion factor.

Introducción
La clasificación clínica de la nefrocalcinosis se basa en el grado de afección del riñón y presencia de signos clínicos externos tales como exoftalmia y abultamiento abdominal, e interno tales como ascitis, hígado pálido, entre otros.
La tabla 1 muestra los criterios para la clasificación clpinica de la Nefrocalcinosis.El pronóstico del lote afectado dependerá de la frecuencia y severidad de la condición.
