Referred for an abdominal ultrasound for possible renal dysplasia. rDVM had not run a UA yet, so that is pending, but mild increases in BUN, creat, Phos and SDMA. Kidneys look normal to me other than some mild mineralization at the sinus. I am always nervous about missing renal dysplasia, so would love some conformation that things look ok. Adrenals were on the low end of normal thickness and he has a mild incr. in lymphocytes, so I’ve recommended they start with the UA and a basal cortisol. Current on Lepto vaccine and asymptomatic for any renal issues

Would not consider renal
Would not consider renal dysplasia with these images. How elevated were the renal values? – do need a UA and SG. Basal cortisol also a good idea.
Look normal to me, consider
Look normal to me, consider addisons, acute insult like lepto, toxin or other.
