In addition, cats aged between 4 and 8 years old were the most affected.
The lower urinary tract urolithiasis appeared to be more frequent in European and Siamese cats. The ultrasonography and radiography confirmed the diagnosis of urolithiasis with the incidence of 43.75% and 31.25%, respectively. Urinalysis and blood analysis revealed a significant presence of urinary crystals and acute kidney failure in nine cats. Results: The most clinically relevant symptoms of urolithiasis observed in cats were dysuria, pollakiuria, hematuria, and stranguria. Parameters such as breed, age, or sex were studied and reported in a farm return to analyze risk factors involved in the formation of lower urinary urolithiasis. Materials and Methods: During the study period, 465 cats were examined and 32 cases of urolithiases were selected and investigated by conducting physical examinations, blood analyses, urinalysis, X-ray radiography, and ultrasonography. Além disso, a análise dos cálculos é essencial para estabelecer a dieta adequada e prevenir reicidivas.Īim: This study aims to describe the clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of urolithiasis of the lower urinary tract and to determine the main risk factors involved in the occurrence of urinary lithiasis in cats in Algeria from 2016 to 2018. O procedimento cirúrgico mostrou eficiência eliminando a sintomatologia resultante dos urólitos. Após 6 meses o animal não manifestava sinais de doença do trato urinário. No pós-operatório recomendou-se dieta a base de ração terapêutica específica para trato urinário. Logo após, os cálculos foram encaminhados para avaliação laboratorial qualitativa, na qual a composição designou cálculos de fosfato triplo/estruvita. O tratamento foi à excisão cirúrgica, por intermédio da cistotomia. No exame ultrassonográfico, foi detectado a presença de duas estruturas hiperecóicos na vesícula urinária. Este trabalho objetivou relatar o caso de um felino, macho, castrado, sem raça definida, 3 anos de idade, com ocorrência de dois urólitos na bexiga, apresentava hematúria, polaquiúria, disúria, estrangúria, incontinência urinária e apatia. formigenes in the pathophysiology of calcium oxalate urolithiasis in cats.Ī urolitíase é uma afecção comum na clínica de felinos, caracterizada pela presença de urólitos em qualquer segmento do trato urinário. Further studies are required in a larger group of cats to help illustrate the protective role of O. formigenes against calcium oxalate urolithiasis only in static CKD. In summary, our results suggest a protective role of O. The oxc gene was detected in all cats in various frequency however, its relative abundance was significantly higher in progressive CKD group compared to static CKD and control groups. Additionally, the clinical association between blood serum urea, creatinine, and relative abundance of oxc gene among different groups was examined. formigenes, was quantified using real-time PCR. Fecal samples were collected from all tomcats, genomic DNA was extracted, and oxc, a gene specific for O. Fifteen tomcats were allocated into three groups (healthy control (n = 5), static chronic kidney disease (static CKD) (n = 4), and progressive CKD (n = 6)) based on diagnosis of CaOx urolithiasis and disease progression. formigenes and clinical occurrence of CaOx urolithiasis in household tomcats. This study was designed to reveal the association between biomass colonization of O. Oxalobacter formigenes, an oxalate-degrading intestinal microbiota, has been hypothesized to play a protective role against CaOx urolithiasis due to its capability to degrade oxalate.
Calcium oxalate (CaOx) is one of the common causes of kidney stones and accounts for 40 to 50% of all uroliths in cats.
