Testicular histology in chronic renal failure was studied using stepwise-nephrectomized and adenine-treated rats. Serum levels of urea nitrogen and creatinine were significantly higher than those in sham-operated and control rats (P < .001). However, the mean tubular diameter was not different among the 4 groups. Numbers of A-spermatogonia, preleptotene and pachytene spermatocytes, and spermatids per 100 Sertoli cells were not different among the 4 groups. It would appear that testicular histology is not influenced by chronic renal failure in rats.
