Diagnosis and long-term management of protein-losing glomerulonephropathy. A 5-year case-based approach.

Protein-losing glomerulonephropathy can be a challenging disease for veterinarians to manage. This case-based article illustrates long-term management of protein-losing glomerulonephritis in a dog. Prolonged survival of this patient was attributed to early diagnosis and carefully planned therapeutic intervention consisting of dietary protein reduction and modulation of blood pressure with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition.
