Environmental cadmium induces histopathological changes in kidneys of roe deer.

Abstract:

:Kidney samples of 224 roe deer (113 males, 111 females) aged three months to approximately nine years were collected in eastern Austria. Cadmium contents were examined and histological examinations were performed considering 11 different pathomorphological parameters. Cadmium burden was relatively high (range: 0.010-22.076 ppm) and increased with age. Females aged one to two years had higher contents than males of the same age. The culling site had no influence on cadmium load. The relation between the occurrence of histopathological changes and age, sex, origin, and cadmium concentration in 208 roe deer was tested. The frequency of vacuolic degeneration, pycnotic nuclei, caryolysis, and necrosis was related to increased cadmium levels. Increasing age correlated with lymphohistiocytic infiltration, interstitial fibrosis, and swelling of glomeruli. Pigment deposits and thickening of Bowman's capsule could be related to both cadmium and age. Furthermore, roe deer from an industrialized region showed alterations more frequently than animals from rural areas. We found no relation between morphological changes and sex. Though it remains to be established whether environmental cadmium exposure is the sole cause for the histopathological alterations observed, the results of this study indicate that chronic cadmium poisoning may be an important cofactor in the pathogenic mechanisms of renal damage in roe deer and that cadmium intoxication may be more widespread among wildlife than previously known.
