Porcine membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis with intramembranous dense deposits (porcine dense deposit disease)

APMIS, 1993
A membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) was diagnosed in 10 Yorkshire piglets, aged between 33 and 73 days, that had been submitted for routine autopsy. Matings of animals related to these piglets subsequently produced 15 offspring that had a membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis when examined at between 5 and 48 days of age. The principal
