| Abstract: | Thirthy patients with lepromatous and nonlepromatous leprosy were studied in respect to their renal lesions and changes in kidney function. In none of the patients were specific lesions of the disease found, nor was Mycobacterium leprae demonstrable in any. The most frequent lesions met with included focal interstitial nephritis, glomerular hypercellularity, tubular degeneration, and hyalinization of smail-sized and medium-sized blood vessels. In addition, three patients showed circumscribed aggregates of mononuclear cells, and one showed chronic pyelonephritis. The affection of the kidney was independent of the duration and the type of leprosy.(AU).
