	Renal Diseases in Cats - WSAVA 2002
		Renal lymphoma is an infiltration of one or both kidneys of the cat by tumoral lymphocytes, particularly alimentary lymphomas.
		Renal hypertrophy must be considered with caution as it may be a compensatory hypertrophy, the controlateral kidney being the injured kidney.
		The knowledge of the incidence of renal diseases of the cat and the use of a clinical, biological and histological methodology allow the clinician to make the diagnosis without cutting corners and as far as it is possible, to avoid performing a needle biopsy.

		The lesions are usually caused by significantly diminished renal arterial perfusion secondary to vascular spasm, microvascular injury, or intravascular coagulation.
		Acute renal failure is typical, with associated complications (eg, hyperkalemia, fluid overload).

		The substance of the kidney is divided into two distinct regions: an inner medulla and an outer cortex.
		The "renal medulla" is composed of conical masses of tissue called "renal pyramids," whose bases are directed toward the convex surface of the kidney, and which apex to form the renal papillae.
		Its tissues dip into the medulla between adjacent renal pyramids to form "renal columns." The granular appearance of the cortex is due to the random arrangement of tiny tubules associated with "nephrons," the functional units of the kidney.

		The renal corpuscle and both convoluted tubules lie in the renal cortex of the kidney, whereas the loop of Henle extends into the renal medulla, makes a hairpin turn, and then returns to the renal cortex.

		If the glomerular filtration rate (a measure of renal function) has fallen very low (end-stage renal failure), or if the renal dysfunction leads to severe symptoms, then renal replacement therapy is indicated, either dialysis or renal transplantation.

		A "renal corpuscle" is composed of tangled clusters of blood capillaries called a "glomerulus," and a thin-walled, saclike structure, called the "Bowman's capsule," which surrounds the glomerulus.
		It is composed of two layers of cells: an inner layer that closely covers the glomerulus, and an outer layer that is continuous with the inner layer and with the wall of the renal tubule.
		The coiled portion is named the "proximal convoluted tubule." Several of the distal convoluted tubules merge into the renal cortex to form a collecting duct, which in turn passes into the renal medulla, becoming larger and larger as it joins other collecting ducts, the resulting tube is called the papillary duct.

		The epithelium of the initial descending segment of the loop of Henle is similar to that of the proximal convoluted tubule, and is sometimes called the pars recta of the proximal tubule (in contrast to the convoluted pars convoluta).
		This segment of the renal tubule continues the return of useful materials from the filtrate to the blood in the peritubular capillaries, like the proximal convoluted tubule by actively pumping small molecules out of the tubule lumen into the interstitial space.
		Interlobar arteries and veins arise from the renal artery and vein and ascend between lobes (as the adjective interlobar suggests) from the pelvis across the medulla toward the cortex.

		In the renal hypertrophy that occurs in diabetes mellitus, decreased proteolysis may lead to protein accumulation, but it is unclear which proteins are affected.
		Because the lysosomal proteolytic pathway of chaperone-mediated autophagy is suppressed by growth factors in cultured cells, we investigated whether the abundance of substrates of this pathway increase in diabetic hypertrophy.
		Proteolysis was measured as lysine release in renal cortical suspensions and protein synthesis as phenylalanine incorporation.
