Hi there,
I have a 5 month old M Poodle with high BUN, CReat, PHosp and Calcium, USG 1010. Bloodwork was done as preanesthetic test. Clinically he’s doing good except thin.
BCS =2.5/5, thin, preanesth-Bloodwork revealed:High BUN 17,1 ( Norm: 3.2-11) High Creatinine 169 ( 44-133 umol/l)
High Phosporus 2.4 ( Norm 0.8-2.0), Calcium high 2.97( Norm 2.2-2.80) CK 202 ( Norm 276-299). Low USG: 1.010
Does his kidneys look similar to renal dysplasia? As far as I know the cortex is ussualy thin, but wondering if can also present like this?

The cortices are a bit
The cortices are a bit thick here but the cm junction is solid and general architectural integrity isn’t bad. That being said congential renal dysplasia can look like anything but have to bx the cortex for the definitive. Consider lepto/opther infection, food or environmental toxin as well as addisons here. If those don’t pan treating iv ampiccilin and acth stim or baseline cortisol to rule out addison then bx the renal cortex. BP warranted as well. Here are some typical renal congenital dysplasias and can do a basic search in the sonopath archive “renal dysplasia” to see many such cases and how they presented. More are present in the pathology CD as well.
