Polycystic kidneys in a ferret.

J E Dillberger

    Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Polycystic kidneys, characterized by numerous cysts, were discovered in an adult ferret presenting with seizures and an abdominal mass. This ferret case offers a potential animal model for studying human polycystic kidney disease.
