Abstract		In order to elucidate the nature of the process of cystic dilatation spontaneously occurring in proximal tubules of 7-day-chick embryonic kidneys, a stereological analysis was performed. The kidney volume, the length density of proximal tubules in the kidney, the ratio of luminar volume to tubular wall volume, the mean tubular cell volume, and the cell number per unit length of tubule were estimated. The results of a preliminary study indicate that the development of proximal tubular dilatations is caused predominatly by the proliferation of cells around the periphery of the proximal tubules.
