A presumptive diagnosis of pulpy kidney can be made based on a history of sudden deaths in lambs recently introduced to carbohydrate-rich feed. If animals are seen before they die, certain clinical signs may be suggestive of pulpy kidney, and post-mortem examination may also aid diagnosis. Laboratory tests support, but do not confirm, a diagnosis of pulpy kidney. Histopathology of the brain is the most useful diagnostic test.
