A 3-year-old, male Shih-tzu dog with clinical signs of dysuria and hematuria was brought to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Chonnam National University. The patient was suspected urolithiasis by history taking and clinical signs but urinary and urethra calculus was not found in the radiographic examination. Enlarged prostatic gland (29.0$\times$28.0 mm) and severe finding of cystitis was observed from the ultrasonographic examination. The dog was finally diagnosed as the secondary urethral obstruction by benign prostatic hyperplasia. Castration was performed to treatment of acute hyperplasia of prostatic gland and prostatic cysts. After 26 days of operation, the prostate was defined small, hypoechoic, symmetric and decreased size (18.5$\times$18.0mm) by ultrasonography and dysuria cured completely.

A male German Shepherd dog, $2{\frac{1}{2}}$years of age, was admitted with sudden anemia, weakness, hyperpyrexia, anorexia and lethargy. The patient showed hypoplastic anemia, thrombocytopenia, absolute and relative lymphocytosis, absolute and relative granulocytopenia, hypoalbuminemia, slight hepatic disorder, slight azotemia, hematuria and proteinuria by the screening examination. The bone marrow aspiration smear showed high cellularity, severs infiltration of lymphoblasts and prolymphocytes, and mitotic figures of lymphoid cells. The liver aspiration smear demonstrated infiltration of lymphoblasts. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia was diagnosed as none of the superficial lymph nodes showed enlargement and marked functional disorder of important organs other than the liver was not found. The patient was treated with vincristine, cyclophophamide, predniosolone for chemotherapy and blood transfusion and either ampicillin or cefoperazone for supportive treatment. But the patient did not show marked remission and died 9 days after the start of the chemptherapy. The necropsy was not permitted.

A 9 year-old male Maltese with dysuria, pollakiuria, and stranguria was brought to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Chonnam National University. A right lateral abdominal radiograph was shown that 3 uroliths existed at the caudal aspect of the os penis and 5 uroliths existed in the passage of os penis. Uroliths were extracted by voiding urohydropropulsion and cystotomy in Maltese dog. The complication of cystotomy was hematuria, which might persist up to 2 days postoperatively but dysuria was not observed. So we applied voiding urohydropropulsion and cystotomy, and got a good prognosis. Gross examination of extracted uroliths were separated one from another but it was identified the same componet of calcium oxalate by stone quantitative analysis.

An 8-year-old, female lionhead rabbit with clinical sign of hematuria and vaginal discharge with/without blood was submitted to a local animal hospital. On exploratory laparotomy, three round to oval masses were observed in both uterine horns. The lumen of uterus was severely obstructed and distorted because of massive neoplastic proliferation. Histopathologically, the uterine masses revealed papillary projections along with irregular glandular structures into the lumen. The neoplastic foci were composed of numerous irregular sized neoplastic glands originated from uterine glands. These neoplastic cells showed very strong invasive tendency to muscle layer, therefore emboli of neoplastic cells were located in lymphatics. According to immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells in uterine masses demonstrated strong positive signals for cytokeratin, but negative for vimentin. Based on the gross, histopathologic and immunohistochemical features, this case was diagnosed as uterine adenocarcinoma in lionhead rabbit.

An intact male, 3-month-old, Great Pyrenees mountain dog, weighing 7.3 kg with a history of severe hematuria during 2 months was referred. Hematology showed mild leukocytosis. There were no remarkable findings in abdominal radiographs due to ingesta and gas in the gastrointestinal tracts. Ultrasonographs showed bilateral hydronephrosis, bilateral dilated and tortuous ureters, and hyperechoic sludges in the urinary bladder (UB). And a dilated cavity was identified cranial to the UB. Excretory urography and cystography were performed to examine the cause of hydronephrosis and an abnormal cavity cranial to the UB. Bilateral ureters were tortuously dilated and opened into the craniodorsal part of the UB. An abnormal cavity was connected to the UB at the left cranioventral part of the UB. Therefore bilateral ectopic ureters and urachal remnant were diagnosed.

Polyclonal gammopathy represents the diffuse activation of B cells and is usually related to inflammation or immune-related diseases. However, the mechanisms leading to polyclonal gammopathy are essentially speculative. Generally, infectious, inflammatory, or various other reactive processes may be indicated by the presence of a broad-based peak or band in the gamma region on serum protein electrophoresis results. A 15-year-old girl, who had been receiving peritoneal dialysis, presented with polyclonal gammopathy and massive gross hematuria. Renal artery embolization was performed, after which the continuous bleeding subsided and albumin-globulin dissociation resolved. This is a rare case of polyclonal gammopathy related to renal bleeding.

Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) can cause nonobstructive hydronephrosis. Congenital NDI (CNDI) is caused by a genetic mutation. This case report presents a 12-year-old girl who was incidentally diagnosed with nonobstructive hydronephrosis due to NDI caused by AQP2 gene mutation after being evaluated for microscopic hematuria found on routine health examination at school. The patient's medical and family history was unremarkable, and she complained of nocturia only at the time of the clinic visit. Bilateral hydronephrosis on abdominal ultrasonography prompted a water deprivation test, leading to diagnosis of NDI. Genetic study confirmed p.Asn (AAC)123Ser (AGC) in exon 2 of the AQP2 gene. Polyuria and hydronephrosis improved following arginine-vasopressin therapy. CNDI responsive to treatment should be considered as a possible cause of nonobstructive hydroureter.

Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men and women and thus has a profound impact on health care. The majority of patients (75%) with newly diagnosed urothelial tumors have non-muscle invasive disease confined to the bladder mucosa or the lamina propria. The most important risk factors for the development of bladder cancer are smoking and occupational exposure to toxic chemicals. Painless visible hematuria is the most common presenting symptom of bladder cancer. Cystoscopy and urine cytology are currently the recommended tools for diagnosis of bladder cancer. Excluding muscle invasion is an important diagnostic step, as outcomes for patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) are less favorable. For non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), the high rate and frequency of recurrence and the concern for disease progression - especially in patients with high-risk tumors - mandate careful strategies for tumor surveillance. The surveillance strategies should be based on available prognostic factors and in particular data from the EORTC risk tables.

A total of 18 lower urinary tract disease(LUTD) cats were examined by radiographical finding. It is difficult of descend to particular on struvite crystal intraurinary bladder by the usual radiographical technique. However, we have lots of informations by imaging processing method on standing-up position radiograph. This method be helpful from now on LUTD research work.

Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis(FSGS) is one of the underlying pathology of congenital and infantile nephrotic syndrome. There is no ultimate curative treatment except renal transplantation. We have experienced a case of infantile nephrotic syndrome In a 10 month old boy who presented with proteinuria and hematuria. His elder brother also suffered from nephrotic syndrome and died at the age of 18 months due to sepsis. We have diagnosed this patient with clinical manifestations, laboratory data and pathologic findings which was done by open renal biopsy. The patient expired 54 days after admission because or progressive uremia and sepsis.
