- 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.
