Abstract:
Atrophic glomerulopathy resulting in chronic renal failure was diagnosed in 4 related Rottweilers, each < 1 year old. All 4 dogs had severe azotemia and massive protein-losing nephropathy. Histologically, the glomerular lesion was characterized by mild dilatation of Bowman's space, with glomerular tufts absent or markedly atrophied. The lesion is distinct from the congenital glomerular changes described in Samoyeds or Doberman Pinschers.
