Abstract
Renal cysts are epithelium-lined cavities filled
with liquid of various composition. Polycystic
kidney is defined as a genetically determined
cystic lesion of either the autosomal-dominant
(ADPKD) or autosomal-recessive forms
(ARPKD). Two non-descriptive and a German
shepherd dogs were diagnosed with unilateral
polycystic kidney disease by abdominal ultrasonography.
Functional loss and development of
end stage renal disease (ESRD) was seen in a
five year old female non-descriptive dog but no
signs of renal impairment was seen in remaining
two dogs.
