Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetically determined disorder characterized by cystic lesions in the kidneys and other parenchymal organs. PKD has been described in humans and various domestic animals, including species from the orders Artiodactyla, Perissodactyla, Carnivora, Rodentia, and Primates. The prevalence of PKD among wild animals is currently unknown, with only isolated cases reported in the literature. This study reports three previously undescribed cases of PKD in wild animals: a sea lion, a Bengal tiger, and a leopard. Post-mortem pathological data from these animals allow evaluation of intra-species variability in PKD symptomatology. A comparative analysis of PKD symptoms across different mammalian species is presented.
Keywords:Polycystic kidney disease, genetic disorders, mammals, Bengal tiger, leopard, seal.
