title: Spontaneous renal disease in dogs.
abstract: Renal disease is common in dogs. The incidence of significant renal disease increases with age. Many disease processes are subtle and subacute, and so many are not detected until they result in chronic renal failure. The causes of many renal diseases are not known but one must suspect immune-mediated damage in some.
