renal dysplasia, chronic pancreatitis

renal dysplasia, chronic pancreatitis

2 year old FI DSH w/ mild azotemia.  Would you classify this as renal dysplasia? Or are the uroliths a larger part of the pathology? Left ureter was prominent until midway to urinary bladder when lost it without evidence of stone present.  This cat is thin and also has prominent mesenteric lymph nodes without obvious GI pathology.

I would call this more dystrophy given the stones , infarcts and cortical collapse. Being this young any chance there is a shunt with all those stones? Congenital dysplasia is possible but would need a bx for that. Stone movers can create all these renal changes to the kidneys with periodic obstructions, cortical ischemia/infarcts, and secondary cortical collapse.

I find it difficult to describe different areas of mineralisation/stones within the kidneys…any webinar/download you would like to do? or any good sources of information?

Thank you for the feedback, Eric! I must admit that had not been on my radar and am a bit embarassed.  I have attached a few liver videos if you don’t mind looking.  I have left a message for the owner encouraging her to bring the cat back in for me to get some additional images with the SDEP protocol (sorry!) and then send in for full telemed consult, but I haven’t heard back from her yet.

Its really semantics… whats a stone and dystrophic mineralization and pin point mineralizations.
