Abstract: Renal cysts, which represent the most uncommon structural abnormalities in the kidneys and these cysts are fluid-filled cavities lined with epithelium and can develop singularly or in clusters. A nine-month-old non-descriptive dog was diagnosed as bilateral single renal cortical cyst and 15 month old Doberman dog was diagnosed as bilateral polycystic kidney both were in stage IV chronic kidney disease. A comprehensive assessment was conducted, encompassing clinical examination, hemato-biochemical evaluation, abdominal ultrasonography, and computed tomography. The results were thoroughly discussed in detail. An elevated level of creatinine in a juvenile dog should be considered as one of the potential differential diagnoses, including congenital single renal cyst and polycystic kidney disease.
