===[[Cystic Kidney]]===

−

* Also known as polycystic kidney.

−

* Can be seen in many different species.

−

* Can have a hereditary basis.

−

* The cysts may be single or multiple.

−

* Results from the failure of development of the tubular system in nephrons.

−

* Severely affected animals may die of renal failure early in life.

−

** The affected kidney does not have enough functional reserve, and so small infections can have a serious effect on renal function.
