Study regarding clinico-diagnostic correlations in polycystic kidney disease in cats

The ultrasound examination in cystic diseases of the parenchymatous organs has a wide area of ap­pli­ca­tion, in order to correlate and to confirm the pre­sence and to approach this type of focal lesions, es­pe­cial­ly in polycystic diseases (PKD). According to their cha­rac­te­ristic size, type, number, localization and structure, the ultrasound examination of the kidney is very ap­pro­priate for the diagnosis of these cystic le­sions in cats, also related to volume, echostructure and echo­ge­ni­city changes during their chronic evolution. In this frame of clinical and paraclinical expression cor­re­lated with the ultrasound changes the diagnosis in PKD became obviously and easily confirmed.
