* 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.
