Three horses less than or equal to 3 years old were evaluated because of stunted growth, weight loss, anorexia, depression, and lethargy of at least 1 month's duration. A neonatal foal was examined after its death. In each case, gross and microscopic renal lesions were compatible with bilateral renal hypoplasia (ie, cortical hypoplasia with severe medullary hypoplasia). In young horses with renal failure, bilateral renal hypoplasia should be considered in the differential diagnosis, and may represent a congenital lesion.
对3匹年龄小于或等于3岁、因生长发育迟缓、体重减轻、厌食、抑郁和嗜睡至少持续1个月而接受评估。一匹新生马驹在死后进行了检查。在每例病例中，大体和显微镜下的肾脏病变均符合双侧肾发育不全（即皮质发育不全伴严重髓质发育不全）。对于患有肾衰竭的幼龄马，双侧肾发育不全应列入鉴别诊断，可能代表一种先天性病变。
