Clinical evaluation of canine and feline urolithiasis cases between 2002-2003

Abstract

In the study, different breed, age and gender 15 small animals, (4 cats and 11 dogs) with urinary tract problems were included. Diagnosis was made basis on urinary analysis, direct radiography, positive contrast cystography and ultrasonography. Urolits taken by hydropropulsion, cystotomy or urethrotomy were analyzed by X-Ray Diffraction and biochemical methods. Dietary and medical therapies were applied according to the determined urolith. Urine samples were taken on 15th, 30th, and 60th days and evaluated. Predominant urolith type in dogs was ureat (n=9, 60%). According to the urolith analysis dietary therapy prevents recurrence and biochemical and X-ray Diffraction methods were in correlation. Urolithiasis was more common in males than the females. The most commonly effected breed was Dalmatian

Fakülte kliniklerine gelen (2002-2003) kedi ve köpeklerde urolitiazis olgularının klinik değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Çalışmada üriner sistem şikâyeti ile gelen farklı ırk yaş ve cinsiyette 4 kedi ve 11 köpek olmak üzere 15 hayvan kullanıldı. Ürolitiazis tanısı, idrar analizi, direkt radyografi, pozitif kontrast sistografi ve ultrasonografik inceleme ile konuldu. Hidropropulsiyon, sistotomi ve/veya üretrotomi ile alınan ürolitlerin, biyokimyasal ve X-ışını Difraksiyon yöntemleri ile analizleri yapıldı. Ürolitin tipine göre diyet ve medikal tedavi uygulanan olguların 15. gün, 1. ay, 2. ayda alınan idrar analiz bulguları değerlendirildi. Köpeklerde predominant ürolit tipinin (n=9, %60) ürat olduğu ve ürolit analizine göre diyet uygulamasının nüksleri engellediği gözlendi. Ürolit analizinde kimyasal ve X-ışını Difraksiyon yöntemlerinin uyum içinde çalıştığı ve ürolitiazisin erkeklerde dişilerden daha fazla rastlandığı tespit edildi. Çalışmada, en fazla Dalmaçyalı ırkında ürolitiazis gözlendi
