Abstract

This article describes the results of a study of 128 cats with urological syndrome. The study was conducted to determine the incidence of this syndrome, its nosological structure, analysis of clinical signs, as well as laboratory data characteristic of this syndrome. The data were obtained from the patients of the clinical branches of the DSTU, Rostov-on-Don, the patients had not been treated anywhere before and were first seen with urological syndrome of cats. A medical history was compiled for all cats, a clinical examination was carried out, and blood and urine were collected for analysis. As a result of the studies, it was revealed that as part of the urological syndrome, idiopathic cystitis of cats occurred in 65% of cases, urinary tract infections in 14% of cats, obstruction of the urethra caused by urethral plugs was observed in 68%, urolithiasis in 28%, and only in In 0.7% of cats, proliferative changes in the urethral tract were noted. In 79% of cats with urological syndrome, it was accompanied by urethral obstruction with different mechanisms of occurrence.

Highlights

In the domestic literature, feline urological syndrome is a set of symptoms, including frequent and painful urination without polyuria, and hematuria
In foreign sources, the authors report a different prevalence of nosological units accompanied by urological syndrome, but everyone is unanimous that idiopathic cystitis is the most common cause of this syndrome, and its incidence ranges from 50% to 70% of all cats with this syndrome [2, 4, 6, 7]
As well as the literature data we studied, idiopathic cystitis is the most common cause of feline urological syndrome

Summary

Introduction

In the domestic literature, feline urological syndrome is a set of symptoms, including frequent (pollakiuria) and painful (stranguria) urination without polyuria, and hematuria (blood in the urine). Several nosological units are accompanied by urological syndrome, including idiopathic cystitis, infection of the genitourinary tract, urolithiasis and infiltrative processes in the lower urethral tract, more often tumors. All these diseases can occur in an obstructive form, when normal urination stops with severe obstruction of urine outflow. In foreign sources, the authors report a different prevalence of nosological units accompanied by urological syndrome, but everyone is unanimous that idiopathic cystitis is the most common cause of this syndrome, and its incidence ranges from 50% to 70% of all cats with this syndrome [2, 4, 6, 7]
