Abstract

Unilateral renal agenesis is a relatively rare condition in all domestic animal species, including dogs. By itself, this change is compatible with life, and the affected animal does not experience any symptoms as long as the other kidney is functional. This report describes the pathological aspects of a case of a dog with renal failure due to a combination of conditions: unilateral renal agenesis and severe kidney fibrosis, probably as a sequela of primary glomerulonephritis.
