“…Polycystic kidney disease has been diagnosed in the Persian cat and English bull terrier, West highland white terrier and Cairn terrier dogs [4][5][6][7]12,32,33,36,37 and the cysts have been reported to originate from mainly the collecting duct and the distal part of the nephron 17 . The sensitivity and specificity for the detection of PKD in Persian cats at an age of 3 months using ultrasonography has been shown to be 92.6 % and 91 %, respectively 8 .…”

Cystic renal disease is rare in dogs and although infected renal cysts have been reported in humans, no report could be found in dogs. A 58 kg, 5-year-old, castrated, male Boerboel presented with weight loss, pyrexia, lethargy and vomiting, 20 months after an incident of haematuria was reported. The initial ultrasonographic diagnosis was bilateral multiple renal cysts of unknown aetiology. The cysts had significantly increased in size over the 20-month period and some contained echogenic specks which could be related to infection, normal cellular debris or haemorrhage. In both kidneys the renal contours were distorted (the left more than the right). The abnormal shape of the left kidney was largely due to multiple cysts and a large crescent-shaped septate mass on the cranial pole of the kidney. Aspirates of the septate mass were performed (left kidney) and the cytology and culture were indicative of an abscess. It is suggested that the previous incident of haematuria provided a portal of entry for bacteria into the cysts resulting in renal cortical abscess formation.

“…Renal cystic disease is common in cats, dogs and humans (Beck & Lavelle 2001, Feliciano et al 2008) and has a congenital, hereditary or acquired origin, might cause chronic kidney disease due to compression and intratubular obstruction caused by inflammation and interstitial fibrosis (Feliciano et al 2008). We were unable to determine the cause of the polycystic kidney disease in this animal, but it is likely to have been an acquired case since the morphological characteristics of multifocal lymphoplasmacytic interstitial nephritis suggested pre-existing renal injury.…”

RESUMO.-[Achados post-mortem em catetos criados em cativeiro no Nordeste do Brasil.] Este trabalho teve por objetivo realizar um estudo retrospectivo sobre as doenças de catetos diagnosticadas pelo Laboratório de Patologia Veterinária da Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido, através do exame de necropsia e histológico no período de 2005 a 2010. Dos 50 catetos submetidos à necropsia, as percentagens das enfermidades diagnosticadas foram: miopatia por captura e contenção (24%), morte por traumas (18%), hemangioma do baço (6%), enterolitíase (6%), gastrite (6%), úlcera gástrica (4%), vólvulo intestinal (4%), vólvulo gástrico (2%), carcinoma mamário (2%), doença renal policística (2%), piometra (2%) e broncopneumonia supurativa (2%). Onze (22%) animais permaneceram sem diagnóstico, dos quais sete (10%) apresentavam avançado estado autolítico e cinco (14%) não foram observadas lesões macroscópicas e microscópicas compatíveis com nenhuma enfermidade. Este estudo apresenta relatos de doenças ainda não descritas em catetos, com enfoque nos aspectos clínicos e patológicos.

“…Mildly affected cats may not have clinical signs of disease, whereas more severely affected cats may develop chronic renal failure. 4,5,7 To the authors' knowledge, renal failure as a result of ADPKD has not been described in cats < 1 year of age without ultrasonographically visible cysts. In 1 study, 4 cysts ranged in size from < 1 mm to > 2 cm in diameter, and there were from 20 to > 200 cysts/kidney.…”

A 4-month-old 1-kg female Siamese-Manx cross kitten was evaluated because of renomegaly and renal failure. Ultrasonography and cytologic examination of a renal aspirate failed to provide an antemortem diagnosis. Histologic lesions included diffuse cystic dilatation of all tubules and Bowman's spaces in the renal cortex and occasional small glomerular tufts; the lesions were similar to those of glomerulocystic kidney disease of humans. Glomerulocystic kidney disease is a rare cause of early-onset renal failure, but should be considered when renomegaly is detected, cysts are not detected in the kidney by ultrasonography, and cytologic examination of a renal aspirate is nondiagnostic.

Feline polycystic kidney disease in Persian and other cats: a prospective study using ultrasonography

Abstract: The prevalence of feline polycstic disease in Persian cats presented to the University of Melbourne between February and August 1999 was 45%. Exotic cats were found to have the slightly higher incidence of 50%.
