Chronic renal failure (CRF) is a progressive disorder most commonly associated with older dogs in which the kidneys slowly lose the ability to concentrate urine and eliminate wastes. The disease is associated with irreversible changes to the kidney structure, such as scarring and loss of nephrons, the functional units of the kidney.
Dogs over 7 years of age are more likely to be diagnosed with chronic renal failure. Certain Dog Breeds (such as the basenji, beagle, Bedlington Terrier, Bernese mountain dog, bull terrier, cairn terrier, Chinese shar-pei, Chow Chow, cocker spaniel, Doberman pinscher, golden retriever, keeshond, Lhasa Apso, Newfoundland, Norwegian elkhound, Pembroke Welsh corgi, Rottweiler, Samoyed, Shih Tzu, soft-coated wheaten terrier and standard poodle) are predisposed to developing renal failure due to inherited or familial disorders. Males and females are equally affected.
