Abstract
On routine yearly examination, polycythemia with hypererythropoietinem
ia and normoxemia was found in a clinically normal 12-yr-old intact ma
le lemur (Petterus fulvus). Marked proteinuria and histologic evidence
of severe, chronic membranous glomerulonephritis were associated with
erythrocytosis. Hematocrit was reduced by intermittent phlebotomy for
short-term management.
