Ureteroceles are cystic dilatations of the submucosal portion of the distal ureter. They are frequently reported in humans but are uncommonly reported in dogs. This report describes surgical resection of the ureterocele and reduction of ipsilateral hydroureter in a dog that also had bilateral renal dysfunction and suffered progressive mild azotemia postoperatively. This report demonstrates that canine ureteroceles can occur concurrently with bilateral renal dysfunction and offers a classification system designed to encourage thorough urinary tract evaluation for determining prognosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5326\/0380033","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,15]],"date-time":"2014-09-15T12:22:32Z","timestamp":1410783752000},"page":"33-39","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Intravesical Ureterocele With Concurrent Renal Dysfunction in a Dog: A Case Report and Proposed Classification System"],"prefix":"10.5326","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Kevin S.","family":"Stiffler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Small Animal Medicine (Stiffler, Stevenson, Barsanti), Anatomy and Radiology (Mahaffey), and Pathology (Howerth)"},{"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602-7390"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.
