Abstract

Dogs with stage II and stage III of chronic kidney disease were subjected for ultrasonographic examination.
Ultrasonographic changes of kidney were observed in 78.13 percent (25 out of 32) and 83.72 per cent (36
out of 43) of CKD stage II and stage III respectively. The major sonography changes observed in stage II
and stage III of CKD were altered corticomedullary junction, hyperechoic cortex, reduced renal size,
irregular shape and reduced kidney to aorta ration.
