Case Report


Chronic kidney disease in a dog with hematologic and cardiovascular alterations: A case report

Agus Wijaya, Muchammad Yunus.


Abstract
Background:
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common and progressive disorder in dogs characterized by irreversible loss of renal function over time. It is frequently observed in geriatric dogs and may present with nonspecific clinical signs that require careful diagnostic evaluation for confirmation.

Case Description:
An 11-year-old male mixed-breed dog weighing 17.9 kg presented with a history of lethargy and anorexia for three consecutive days. On physical examination, the dog had a body temperature of 37.9°C, heart rate of 60 beats per minute (bradycardia), and respiratory rate of 24 breaths per minute (within normal range). Physical examination and clinical laboratory testing, including hematology and serum biochemistry, were performed to evaluate renal function. The results of these investigations, along with the clinical signs, were consistent with CKD.

Conclusion:
This case highlights the clinical presentation and diagnostic process of CKD in a geriatric mixed-breed dog. Early recognition and appropriate diagnostic evaluation are essential for the accurate diagnosis and management of CKD in dogs.

Key words: CKD; Physical examination; Clinical laboratory tests.
