Abstract:
Total water deprivation of 2-day-old broiler chicks for 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours did not result in visceral urate deposits. Renal tubular changes consisted of increased spaces between membrane infoldings of the distal convoluted tubular epithelium, increased number of cytoplasmic vacuoles in proximal convoluted tubules, and increased mucin production and dilation of collecting ducts.
