Another Name: renal agenesis

Disease Description: A developmental abnormality where one kidney fails to develop. Also called renal agenesis.

Inherit Mode: -

Disease Symptom: This is a rare condition in dogs and is almost always accompanied by absence of the ureter, and sometimes hypoplasia of the urinary bladder. Dogs where both kidneys are absent rarely live beyond 4-6 weeks old. However, those with only one kidney may not show distinct signs, and the condition may just be an incidental finding when examining a dog for incontinence or suspected ectopic ureters. Dogs with only one kidney may manifest urinary incontinence, polydipsia, polyuria, and dehydration.
