This is much less common than hepatic disease. It is often seen in multiorgan failure in the terminally ill donkey. There is also some association with urinary calculi, [[Hyperlipaemia - Donkey|hyperlipaemia]] and [[Colic - Donkey|colic]]. Again, animals with end-stage disease from a chronic condition will usually present as '''[[Dull Donkey|dull]] and anorexic''' although renal disease can be extremely painful and, in T. Sprayson’s experience, affected donkeys can present with signs of acute colic.
