Abstract

Histological and histochemical examinations of canine kidneys 24 hours, 7, 14 and 24 days after embolization of the renal artery with Spongostan showed that during 24 days the resorption and organization of the infarcts in the embolized kidneys and the resorption of Spongostan in the arteries were not yet completed. The intensified reactions to phosphatases, dehydrogenases, and non-specific esterase indicate a prolonged activation of cells playing a role in the resorption and organization of infarcts which may be of significance in the stimulation of immune responses. There were no inflammatory reactions in the embolized arteries.
