A 30% incidence of renal cysts with varying sizes and densities in biomedical research swine is not associated with renal dysfunction
Abstract
Renal cystic disease arising from various etiologies results in fluid‐filled cavities within the kidneys. Moreover, preexisting renal dysfunction has been shown to exacerbate multiple pathologies. While swine bred for biomedical research are often clinically inspected for illness/parasites, more advanced diagnostics may aid in uncovering underlying renal abnormalities.
