Developmental Diseases and LUTD Flashcards
what is a developmental disease?
disease or malformations caused by errors in the sequential steps of development occurring before birth
metanephric tissue induced by bud to ___________________________________________________
condense and undergo mesenchymal epithelial transformation
what does the metanephric tissue cap form?
glomeruli
bowman’s capsules
nephron
what are some problems caused by failure of either the ureteric bud or metanephric blastema?
unilateral or bilateral aplasia seen in beagles and dobermans
hypoplasia may lead to CRD
is physical and functional maturity completed at birth for the kidneys?
no
neonatal dogs lack normal renal function for _____________
3-8 weeks
what is renal dysplasia/juvenile nephropathy?
disorderly development of renal parenchyma
what structures does renal dysplasia involve?
tubular, glomerular, and interstitial structures
what can cause small kidneys?
congenital hypoplasia
congenital dysplasia
acquired chronic kidney disease and fibrosis
what are some malformations related to ascent of the kidney?
renal ectopia: renal pelvic kidney (may lead to kink)
horseshoe kidney: kidneys fuse into one
what do familial glomerulopathies vary in?
inheritance
age of onset
underlying structural disorders
microscopic abnormalities
when are renal cysts significant?
when they replace/efface significant amounts of normal parenchyma
what is polycystic kidney disease?
congenital diseases caused by multiple mutations
what is involved in polycystic kidney disease?
kidneys
bile ducts
sometimes pancreas
when do polycystic kidney diseases often present?
renal failure later in life
polycystic diseases are often linked to _______________
monocilia abnormalities
who usually gets autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease?
persian cats, persian-outcrosses
bull terriers
what causes renal and hepatic failure in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease?
cysts arise in all segments of nephron
when does renal failure occur in animals with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease?
adult onset of renal failure >7 years old
when does autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease appear clinically?
perinatal to juvenile
who usually gets autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease?
cairn and west highland white terriers
what are some ureteral development defects?
ureteral agenesis
ureteral ectopia
