Abstract Background Urolithiasis is an important upper and lower urinary tract disease in cats that results in morbidity and mortality. Objective To describe trends in composition of uroliths in cats and evaluate risk fa...

Abstract Background Urolithiasis is a common and often recurrent problem in dogs. Objective To evaluate trends in urolith composition in dogs and to assess risk factors for urolithiasis, including age, breed, sex, neuter...

BackgroundUrolithiasis in pediatric populations is increasing worldwide, with environmental and social determinants playing key roles. In Mexico, Yucatan is an endemic area for urolithiasis in adults. However, pediatric ...

ABSTRACT Background Phenazopyridine is used for ancillary pain management in the treatment of goats with obstructive urolithiasis. However, there are no published studies on the pharmacokinetics, safety, or efficacy of p...

Relataram-se dois casos em que a penectomia com transposição peniana perineal foram as técnicas cirúrgicas de escolha e que resultaram em 50% de sucesso. Quatro casos em que as cistotomias seguidas de cistostomias ap...

Abstract Background Calcium oxalate (CaOx) uroliths are common in dogs. Humans with CaOx urolithiasis exhibit alterations of the urinary and urogenital microbiomes that might mediate urolith formation. Detection of uroge...

Abstract Background Positive health implications of early recognition of calcium oxalate (CaOx) urolithiasis include increased opportunity for nonsurgical removal, early dietary modification to minimize urolith growth, e...

ABSTRACT Background Fractional excretion of calcium (FeCa) and urine calcium‐to‐creatinine ratios (UCaCr) estimate hypercalciuria, but more data are needed on how well they discriminate between dogs with and without ...

Abstract Background We aimed to identify a simple test for excessive calciuresis and predict calcium oxalate (CaOx) disease in Miniature Schnauzers. We investigated the impact of postprandial time on the urine calcium to...

ABSTRACT Bacterial resistance is a reality in both human and veterinary health, it limits the therapeutic arsenal and raises the costs of the patient’s treatment. A dog with signs of cystitis received treatment with 5m...

Background Obstructive urolithiasis commonly affects male goats. Perineal urethrostomy (PU) can be a permanent treatment option but is generally considered undesirable because of the risk of stricture of the urethral sto...

Abstract Background Polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) are associated with calcium oxalate (CaOx) nephrolithiasis in humans. Objectives To investigate the association between VDR polymorphisms and susceptibili...

ABSTRACT Background Androgen‐dependent cystinuria has been described in intact male dogs. Castration has been recommended to reduce urinary cystine excretion. Hypothesis/Objectives Urinary cystine/creatinine concentrat...

ABSTRACT Urolithiasis has a high incidence among confined sheep. It is multifactorial and may cause economic damage. Our aim was to determine the capacity of urinary acidification using ammonium chloride in sheep. Twenty...

Abstract Background Symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), a sensitive biomarker for detecting renal injury, has not been characterized in goats. Obstructive urolithiasis (OU) is the most common urinary tract disease in male...

ABSTRACT Between October 2016 and October 2017, 63 feline uroliths were analyzed at Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG) by using both chemical analysis and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The most frequent mineral...

Introduction: Ureteral Double J (DJ) stents are commonly used in urology to ensure urinary drainage. However, prolonged indwelling time increases the risk of bacterial colonisation and biofilm formation, which can lead t...

ABSTRACT Although urinary crystals are habitual components, urolithiasis formation is always preceded by these concretions. We aimed to identify the change in the crystalline profile in sheep supplemented with ammonium c...

Abstract Background High‐salt diets promote urine dilution and decrease urolithiasis risk. Objective Prospectively evaluate the safety of chronic high dietary salt intake (randomized controlled trial). Animals Twenty r...

Abstract Background A recessive form of MOCOS‐associated xanthinuria type II is described in Tyrolean grey cattle. A similar case was identified in a 5‐month‐old Brown Swiss calf with hoof overgrowth, rough coat, u...

A 42-year-old female with history of surgery due to urolithiasis was admitted to hospital with complaints of fever, left fl ank pain and vomiting. She was found to have acute kidney injury due to urinary tract infection....

Abstract Background Urolithiasis in small ruminants has a poor long‐term prognosis, and long‐term clinical outcomes are variable and unpredictable. Objectives To assess the accuracy of preoperative and postoperative ...

ABSTRACT Background Calcium tartrate tetrahydrate (CTT) uroliths are recently identified in dogs. Objectives To report on the types and prevalence of diets, supplements, and medications containing salts of tartaric acid ...
