Proteinuria is a recognized risk factor for progression of canine chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the prognosis of non-azotemic proteinuric CKD in dogs has been studied only to a limited extent. Moreover, the degree to which proteinuria should be decreased to delay CKD progression remains...

Background: Renal disease is considered the main cause of natural mortality in dogs with canine leishmaniosis. The pathological mechanisms associated with kidney injury in canine leishmaniosis include immune complex glomerulonephritis, tubulointerstitial nephritis and occasionally renal...

Background: Proteinuria is an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality in dogs. An association between proteinuria and gallbladder mucocele formation in dogs is unknown. Objective: Determine if gallbladder mucocele formation or clinicopathologic comorbidities are associated with ...

Proteinuria in dogs and cats is associated with renal morbidity and can be used as a risk marker for the evolution of renal disease and response to treatments. However, there is a controversy about proteinuria values in healthy dogs. The objective of this study was to determine urinary protein...

Renal Fanconi syndrome (RFS) affects the proximal tubular resorption in the nephrons. This causes excessive loss of key solutes through the urine. In a canine patient, we successfully managed the renal tubular acidosis and proteinuria caused by RFS via transplantation of canine adipose...

Objectives: To describe the incidence, severity and progression of proteinuria over the first 6 months of masitinib treatment in tumour-bearing dogs without pre-existing proteinuria. To describe the effect of treatment on urine protein:creatinine and renal parameters in patients with pre-existing ...

Background: Visceral leishmaniasis is a complex vector-borne disease caused by the protozoan Leishmania infantum. In urban centers of South America, where this zoonotic cycle occurs, dogs seem to be the main reservoirs and infection sources. Animals with canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) may have ...

Introduction: Dobermann dogs are reportedly predisposed to familial glomerulonephropathy. Proteinuria is a hallmark of canine familial glomerular diseases. The identification of glomerular abnormalities in breeds so predisposed is of great importance in improving breeding policy. Therefore, markers ...

Background: Proteinuria is a common finding in dogs with leishmaniosis. Although antileishmanial therapeutic protocols are widely implemented, little information is available on which treatments are most adequate for identifying proteinuria in patients with canine leishmaniosis (CanL), especially...

Objective: To evaluate the point prevalence of proteinuria in dogs presenting to the University of Georgia Oncology Service for the first time. Materials and methods: In this prospective study, 60 client-owned dogs with a confirmed cancer diagnosis were included but those with lower urinary tract...
