Atrophic glomerulopathy resulting in chronic renal failure was diagnosed in 4 related Rottweilers, each < 1 year old. All 4 dogs had severe azotemia and massive protein-losing nephropathy. Histologically, the glomerular lesion was characterized by mild dilatation of Bowman's space, with glomerular tufts absent or markedly atrophied. The lesion is distinct from the congenital glomerular changes described in Samoyeds or Doberman Pinschers.
4只年龄均小于1岁的相关罗威纳犬被诊断出患有导致慢性肾衰竭的萎缩性肾小球病。所有4只犬均有严重氮质血症和大量蛋白尿性肾病。组织学上，肾小球病变的特征是肾小囊轻度扩张，肾小球簇缺如或明显萎缩。该病变与萨摩耶犬或杜宾犬所描述的先天性肾小球变化不同。
