Congenital renal diseases of assorted pathologic types occur in dogs and cats. Many of the conditions are known or suspected to be inherited in specific breeds. However, for most of these disorders the causative defect, pathogenesis, and mode of inheritance remain unknown. Congenital renal diseases usually are progressive and they often cause chronic renal failure in affected animals. Presumptive diagnosis usually is based on clinical findings after exclusion of other conditions, but definitive diagnosis generally requires appropriate pathologic studies.
各种病理类型的先天性肾脏疾病发生于犬猫。其中许多病症已知或疑似在特定品种中具有遗传性。然而，对于大多数这些疾病，其致病缺陷、发病机制和遗传方式仍不清楚。先天性肾脏疾病通常呈进行性发展，常导致患病动物出现慢性肾衰竭。初步诊断通常基于排除其他病症后的临床发现，但明确诊断一般需要进行适当的病理研究。
