Polycystic nephropathy in slender lorises (Loris lydekkerianus)
Article Abstract:
Juvenile/adult polycystic nephropathy was observed in a mostmortem investigation of death in a colony of slender lorises over a period of time. Although polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is inherited in humans and other animals, it is not clear whether kidney alterations in slender lorises are genetically transmitted, stress related, or induced by microbiological influences.
