    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Canine Pathology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Polydipsia and vomiting are common clinical signs in dogs.
    • Azotemia and isosthenuria suggest kidney dysfunction.
    • Renal dysplasia is a congenital kidney disorder.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To diagnose the cause of kidney disease in a Lhasa Apso.
    • To characterize the pathological findings of renal dysplasia in a canine patient.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical examination and history taking.
    • Serum chemistry assays and urinalysis.
    • Antemortem renal biopsy and histopathological examination.

    Main Results:

    • The dog presented with depression, dehydration, hyperphosphatemia, and azotemia.
    • Urinalysis showed isosthenuria.
    • Renal biopsy revealed sclerotic glomeruli, embryonic renal tubules, and interstitial fibrosis.

    Conclusions:

    • The clinical and pathological findings confirmed renal dysplasia as the cause of kidney disease.
    • Early diagnosis and understanding of renal dysplasia are crucial for canine health management.
