Abstract

A male, 6 months aged, crossbred dog which was brought to Kocatepe University, Animal Hospital with dysuria complain formed the presented case material. A mild abdominal pain was identified in the clinical examination. Whole blood values and serum biochemistry findings were all within the reference range. In the performed abdominal ultrasonographic examination, inflammatory rashes and wall thickening were identified in the bladder whereas multiple parenchymal cysts with an unknown etiology were identified in the right kidney. Measured resistive index was above the reference values reported in the literature. Presented case results emphasize that the resistive index alone, measured by doppler ultrasonography in multiple renal cyst cases in young dogs, may not be a sufficient diagnostic parameter to assess parenchymal injury. And, in case of parenchymal damage, serum biochemical parameters must be compatible with resistive index
