Fibrous osteodystrophy with facial hyperostosis in a dog with renal cortical hypoplasia. 1975

R W Norrdin

A five-month-old Great Dane had abnormally small kidneys with narrow cortices and a reduced total number of glomeruli. In the renal cortex, subcapsular nests of primitive structures were associated with radiating streaks of fibrosis and were interpreted to be the result of interference with terminal development. The animal had secondary parathyroid hyperplasia and generalized fibrous osteodystrophy. The most severe skeletal lesions were present in the face and jaws where exuberant proliferation of fibrodystrophic bone had caused boney enlargement with focal hemorrhage and brown node formation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006962 Hyperparathyroidism, Secondary Abnormally elevated PARATHYROID HORMONE secretion as a response to HYPOCALCEMIA. It is caused by chronic KIDNEY FAILURE or other abnormalities in the controls of bone and mineral metabolism, leading to various BONE DISEASES, such as RENAL OSTEODYSTROPHY. Secondary Hyperparathyroidism,Hyperparathyroidisms, Secondary,Secondary Hyperparathyroidisms
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D007672 Kidney Cortex The outer zone of the KIDNEY, beneath the capsule, consisting of KIDNEY GLOMERULUS; KIDNEY TUBULES, DISTAL; and KIDNEY TUBULES, PROXIMAL. Cortex, Kidney

D010280 Parathyroid Glands Two pairs of small oval-shaped glands located in the front and the base of the NECK and adjacent to the two lobes of THYROID GLAND. They secrete PARATHYROID HORMONE that regulates the balance of CALCIUM; PHOSPHORUS; and MAGNESIUM in the body. Gland, Parathyroid,Glands, Parathyroid,Parathyroid Gland
D012080 Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder Decalcification of bone or abnormal bone development due to chronic KIDNEY DISEASES, in which 1,25-DIHYDROXYVITAMIN D3 synthesis by the kidneys is impaired, leading to reduced negative feedback on PARATHYROID HORMONE. The resulting SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM eventually leads to bone disorders.
