Familial Glomerulonephritis in Doberman Pinscher Dogs

B P Wilcock, J M Patterson
PMCID: PMC1789598  PMID: 498006

Abstract

Progressive renal disease in 13 related Doberman pinscher dogs had the histological criteria of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. Polyuria, polydipsia and weight loss were the usual initial abnormalities and were observed at one year of age or less in seven of 11 dogs diagnosed antemortem as having renal disease. There was no sex predilection. All dogs were traced to a common male dog no more than four generations previously.
