RESUMO
This report describes a case of polycystic kidney disease in a male, mixed breed bovine aged one year. On clinical examination revealed a poor nutritional status, pallid mucous membranes, moderated dehydration (8 to 10%), ulcers on the ventral portion of the tongue, multifocal areas of hypotrichosis covered with scabs throughout the entire body and permanent sternolateral decubitus. The blood exam revealed aregenerative anemia and leukocytosis (neutrophilia) with deviation to the left. The necropsy revealed enlarged, pallid kidneys with a finely irregular natural surface. The histological analysis revealed the nearly complete replacement of the renal cortex by numerous small cysts, distension of the Bowman space, tubular regeneration, fibrosis, edema and mild interstitial lymphoplasmacytic inflammatory infiltrate.

Este relato descreve um caso de doença renal policística em um bovino, macho, mestiço, com um ano de idade. Ao exame clínicoobservou-se estado nutricional ruim, mucosas pálidas, desidratação moderada (8% a 10%), úlceras na região ventral da língua,áreas multifocais de hipotricose recobertas por crostas por todo o corpo e decúbito esterno-lateral permanente. Na avaliação dohemograma observou-se principalmente anemia arregenerativa e leucocitose devido à neutrofilia com desvio à [confirmar] esquerda.Na necropsia, os rins estavam aumentados de volume, pálidos e com a superfície natural finamente irregular. Histologicamente, haviasubstituição quase completa da cortical renal por múltiplos e pequenos cistos, distensão dos espaços de Bowman, regeneraçãotubular, fibrose, edema e leve infiltrado inflamatório linfoplasmocítico intersticial.
