Ultrasonographic and contrast-enhanced CT imaging diagnosis of idiopathic renal hematuria with bilateral hydronephrosis and hydroureter in a dog.

A 5-year-old spayed female Maltese presented with a 1-week history of severe hematuria. Abdominal ultrasonography and thoracic, and abdominal computed tomography identified bilateral hydronephrosis and hydroureter due to an obstruction at the left ureter and urinary bladder lesion with no evidence of metastasis. After surgical removal of the material and placement of a temporary ureteral stent, the patient was able to urinate normally. Histological examination revealed a massive blood clot. Based on our review of the literature, this is the first published report describing the imaging diagnosis of obstructive hydronephrosis and hydroureter induced by idiopathic renal hematuria in a dog.© 2022 American College of Veterinary Radiology.
