A 14-month-old Holstein heifer collapsed suddenly and died. Significant gross post mortem findings were limited to the kidneys. Histopathological examination revealed a severe, chronic, diffuse, interstitial nephritis. Microscopic examination of the brain revealed a multifocal spongiform encephalopathy, closely resembling that seen in cattle with hepatic encephalopathy. As is well recognized in man, this is a case of encephalopathy resulting from renal failure.
一头14个月大的荷斯坦小母牛突然倒地死亡。重要的尸检肉眼可见结果仅限于肾脏。组织病理学检查显示为严重的慢性弥漫性间质性肾炎。脑部显微镜检查发现多灶性海绵状脑病，与患肝性脑病的牛所见极为相似。正如人类中所熟知的那样，这是一例由肾衰竭导致的脑病病例。
