Abstract: Present study was carried out to study the occurrence and pathology of renal amyloidosis in buffalo kidneys in Jaipur division of Rajasthan. Amyloidosis in buffalo kidneys was recorded in 1.75 per cent cases out of 228 grossly affected kidney specimens. Kidney samples showing gross frank lesions were further processed for histopathological examination. Grossly, affected kidneys were slightly increased in size and pale colored. The kidneys were enlarged, yellow and waxy in appearance. There was presence of non-adherent tensed capsule and widened cortex. Microscopically, amyloid deposition was observed as presence of pink stained proteinaceous fluid in tubules and glomeruli along with infiltration of polymorphonuclear cells in renal parenchyma.
