Summary: In this study, 25 female and 15 male mongrel dogs, aged ranging from i to 7 years, were used. They were subjected to clinical, ultrasonographical and biochemical examinations. Ultrasonographically in 18 of the 40 do gs (45%), different kidney abnormalities were observed, whereas the other 22 dogs were found normaL. Likewise, serum urea and creatinine levels were measured to be higher in the dogs with kidney abnormalities. Serum creatinine elearance estimated using the Cockroft-Gault equation was exceeding the physiological range. In conelusion, for mongrel dogs ultrasonographic examination, measurements of serum urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine, and calculation of serum creatinine elearance using the Cockroft-Gault equation might be useful to diagnose early kidney abnormalities.
