Juvenile Nephropathy in a Boxer Dog Resembling the Human Nephronophthisis-Medullary Cystic Kidney Disease Complex

Abstract: ABSTRACT. A juvenile nephropathy in a 4-year-old male Boxer dog, closely resembling the Nephronophthisis (NPHP)-Medullary Cystic Kidney Disease Complex (MCKD) in humans is described. Gross examination of the kidneys revealed several multiple cysts at the corticomedullary junction and in the medulla. Histological examination was characterized by a widespread tubular atrophy and dilatation, with a marked thickening of the tubular basement membrane, interstitial lymphocytic infiltration and fibrosis. Ultrastructu… Show more

“…Embora a causa não esteja completamente elucidada, os cistos podem se desenvolver por causas adquiridas ou durante a organogênese do espaço glomerular e do sistema coletor (Maxie e Newman, 2007). Várias raças apresentam predisposição genética sendo a raças boxer, bull terriers, shih tzu, schiba (Basile et al, 2011, Akihara et al, 2006, Takahashi et al, 2005, os mais acometidos. Animais jovens, com menos de um mês de idade (Lavoue et al, 2010) e adultos, acima de 4 anos (Basile et al, 2011;Takahashi et al, 2005) são os que mais manifestam quadro clínico de insuficiência renal.…”

Os achados são incidentais durante a necropsia ou podem estar relacionado a quadro clínico dependendo do número de cistos presentes e do grau de comprometimento do rim.…”

“…18 Recently, a nephropathy has been described in a 4-year-old Boxer, which resembled human nephronophtisis (NPHP) and medullary cystic kidney disease complex, two genetic conditions associated with the development of cysts at the corticomedullary junction. 19 NPHP is an autosomal recessive condition associated with extra-renal features in 10-20% of cases and end-stage renal disease before 25 years of age, whereas medullary cystic kidney disease is an autosomal dominant condition leading to end-stage renal disease in the third to fourth decades of life. 18 Tubular atrophy, interstitial fibrosis and changes in the tubular basement membranes are the main characteristics of both these conditions, and in the case of NPHP the appearance of cysts is said to occur in the later phases of the disease.…”
