Renal dysplasia (also called progressive juvenile nephropathy, juvenile renal disease, and familial renal disease) refers to disorganized development of renal parenchyma due to abnormal differentiation.
The typical clinical picture is a young dog (either sex) with marked proteinuria and eventually azotemia. It is a progressive disease, and a cure is not available. FIG.1A (HE): There is global expansion of the mesangium and capillary loops by eosinophilic material with multifocal collapse of capillary lumina.

In dogs with renal dysplasia and some primary glomerulopathies, onset of renal failure usually occurs at 3 months to 3 years of age, with peak occurrence at about 1 year of age. However, many familial kidney diseases often produce renal failure somewhat later in life.
Distinct histopathological features characterize renal dysplasia, such as the presence of metaplastic cartilages, primitive ducts and lobar disorganization without inflammation [2,3,4]. Other congenital disorders described in the veterinary literature are juvenile or familial renal disease and hereditary nephropathy [4,5].
