Clinical diagnosis and management of polycystic kidney disease with concurrent cystitis associated with klebsiella spp in a persian cat

Polycystic kidney disease (PCKD) is an autosomal inherited disorder commonly seen in Persian cats. A four-year-old male Persian cat was presented with vomiting, anorexia and anuria for two days. Clinical examination revealed dehydration, hyperthermia, pale mucous membranes and bladder distension. Hematology showed neutrophilia, while serum biochemistry indicated azotemia and hyperphosphatemia. Ultrasonography revealed renomegaly with multiple anechoic renal cysts and cystitis. Urinalysis showed pyuria, proteinuria and hematuria. Klebsiella spp. was isolated and treated accordingly. Supportive therapy resulted in marked clinical improvement within seven days.
