Urinalysis showed persistent proteinuria (UPC ratio > 0.5), urine specific gravity confirmed
isosthenuria or hyposthenuria except in dogs presented with end stage renal disease.
We report on an SCT patient with symptoms of hematuria and
isosthenuria developing stage III nonoliguric AKI from exertional rhabdomyolysis.
Isosthenuria can occur in animals subjected to rehydration procedures and in animals whose kidneys have lost the ability to concentrate urine (STOCKHAM & SCOTT, 2011).
Sixty-nine dogs with CKD were diagnosed based on their history, the presence of azotemia and
isosthenuria, and were grouped according to classification proposed by the International Renal Interest Society (IRIS).
Urinalysis revealed
isosthenuria with bland urinary sediments (specific gravity 1.010, pH 5.0, albuminuria trace, glycose negative, WBC 0-1/hpf, and RBC 0-1/hpf).
