Renal amyloidosis is a severe condition where abnormal, insoluble proteins called amyloid build up in the kidneys. Over time, these protein deposits crowd out and destroy the healthy filtering tissues of the organ. This leads to progressive kidney damage and impairs the body's ability to filter waste products from the blood.
Owners typically notice symptoms in young to middle-aged dogs, including increased thirst and urination, weight loss, vomiting, and swelling or fluid retention. These signs reflect the gradual loss of kidney function.
There is no cure for this progressive disease, and management focuses on lifelong supportive care, specialized diets, and medications. Diagnostic testing, such as a renal biopsy, and ongoing treatment typically cost between 2,000 and 7,500 EUR.
