Introduction
   

Case 2:

History:

Chronic renal failure was diagnosed in a 7 year old female bull mastiff. She was euthanised due to clinical deterioration over a 3 week period. At necropsy, both kidneys were misshapen and shrunken. The pelvis of the left kidney was mildly enlarged and distorted. The bladder wall was thickened and a film of green-tinged exudate was present over the mucosal surface.

 

This is a low power view of the pelvis of the left kidney. Beneath the pelvic epithelium, there is a thick band of excess collagen which is lightly infiltrated by mononuclear leukocytes.
