Short description

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a disorder that occurs frequently in cats.

General information

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a disorder that occurs frequently in cats. During the life of an affected cat, cysts appear in the kidneys. These cysts put pressure on the healthy kidney tissue, which leads to a loss of function of the affected kidneys and ultimately kidney failure.

This variant of the disease, Polycystic Kidney Disease type 2, is caused by a dominant mutation to the gene PKD2, and occurs primarily in the Siberian cat and related breeds.
