Abstract

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (AD-PKD) is a genetic feline disease characterized by fluid-filled cysts formation in one or both kidneys. Persians and Persian-related cats can be affected. A five-year-old male Persian cat weighing 6.5 kg with severe bilateral abdominal swelling was referred to the Clinic. Radiography and ultrasonography were performed. Finally, the cat was euthanized due to the severity of clinical signs, and necropsy was performed. Histopathologically, cystic structures filled with eosinophilic material lined by cuboidal or squamous epithelium were seen. Based on ultrasonographic images, clinical, radiological and histopathological findings, this disease was diagnosed polycystic kidney disease.
