The renal lesions of five species of estuarine fishes from the heavily polluted Elizabeth River, Virginia, and the nearby, less polluted Nansemond River were studied grossly and microscopically. No gross lesions were observed but microscopic lesions occurred in renal tissue. Mesangial sclerosis occurred in hogchoker, and mesangiolysis occurred in both hogchoker and spot. Glomerular lesions in spot and hogchoker were more frequent in Elizabeth River samples than in Nansemond River samples. Tubular lesions occurred in both Nansemond River and Elizabeth River sciaenids and hogchoker; the prevalence of these lesions was higher in Elizabeth River sciaenids but equal in hogchoker. All lesions in toadfish were found only in fish from the Elizabeth River.
对来自弗吉尼亚州污染严重的伊丽莎白河以及附近污染较轻的南塞蒙德河的五种河口鱼类的肾脏病变进行了大体和显微镜检查。未观察到大体病变，但在肾脏组织中出现了显微镜下的病变。银汉鱼出现了系膜硬化，银汉鱼和斑尾鲈均出现了系膜溶解。与南塞蒙德河样本相比，伊丽莎白河样本中的斑尾鲈和银汉鱼的肾小球病变更为常见。南塞蒙德河和伊丽莎白河的石首鱼科鱼类及银汉鱼均出现了肾小管病变；这些病变在伊丽莎白河石首鱼科鱼类中的发生率较高，但在银汉鱼中相同。蟾鱼的所有病变仅在来自伊丽莎白河的鱼中发现。
