Abstract
Baboons, unlike many other species of nonhuman primates, rarely have spontaneous renal diseases of clinical or morphologic significance. The most common renal lesions in captive baboons were minor interstitial lymphoreticular infiltrates and hyalinization of occasional glomeruli. Embolic pyelonephritis associated with septicemia contributed to the deaths of several young baboons. One adult male had acute myoglobinuric nephrosis (Meyer-Betz disease) with extensive skeletal muscle necrosis.Keywords
