Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nephrology and urology are critical fields in small animal veterinary medicine, addressing disorders of the kidneys, urinary tract, and associated systems that significantly impact animal health and quality of life. Recent advances in diagnostic imaging, laboratory biomarkers, minimally invasive procedures, and therapeutic interventions have enhanced the detection, monitoring, and treatment of renal and urinary diseases in dogs and cats. Furthermore, emerging research on molecular mechanisms, genetic predispositions, and comparative pathology provides new insights into disease etiology and progression. This Special Issue, Advances in Veterinary Nephrology and Urology of Small Animals, aims to compile original research, reviews, and case reports that highlight innovative diagnostic tools, novel therapies, and translational studies, ultimately contributing to improved clinical outcomes and the advancement of veterinary nephrology and urology.
