Histopathologic features of a unilateral renal dysplasia in a cat (Felis domestica)

Histopathologic features of a unilateral renal dysplasia in a cat (Felis domestica) Renal dysplasia is a rare congenital anomaly that has been reported in human and some species of animals. This study shows congenital renal dysplasia that was detected in a stray cat. The present report describes the primary microscopic features that are essential to renal dysplasia diagnosis. Histopathologic examination showed a narrow renal cortex, decreased numbers of glomeruli, underdeveloped glomeruli, marked medullary mesenchymal connective tissue, and disorganized primitive tubules in the cortex and medulla. It is the first report of this anomaly that explains microscopic lesions of renal dysplasia in cat. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Comparative Clinical Pathology Springer Journals

Abstract

Renal dysplasia is a rare congenital anomaly that has been reported in human and some species of animals. This study shows congenital renal dysplasia that was detected in a stray cat. The present report describes the primary microscopic features that are essential to renal dysplasia diagnosis. Histopathologic examination showed a narrow renal cortex, decreased numbers of glomeruli, underdeveloped glomeruli, marked medullary mesenchymal connective tissue, and disorganized primitive tubules in the cortex and medulla. It is the first report of this anomaly that explains microscopic lesions of renal dysplasia in cat.
