Abstract

Background: The proportions of different urolith types have not been investigated in cats from the Republic of Ireland (ROI) and Northern Ireland (NI) previously. The objective of this study was to investigate the proportions of different feline urolith types submitted to Minnesota Urolith Center from the ROI and NI from 2010 to 2020. An additional aim of this study was to identify potential risk factors associated with each urolith type in cats in this geographic area.

Results: One hundred and thirty-one uroliths were submitted for the studied period with 44.3% being struvite, 43.5% calcium oxalate and 7.6% compound. Only 11 uroliths were submitted in the first 4 years. The number of submissions increased after 2015, peaking in 2019 with 25 submissions. Due to low numbers no conclusions could be made about changes in incidence of urolith types over time. Cats ≤7 years of age were significantly more likely to be diagnosed with struvite uroliths (OR, 2.87 [1.37-6.06]; p = 0.007) while cats ≥7 years of age with calcium oxalate uroliths (OR, 2.67, [1.29-5.37], p = 0.004).

Conclusions: This is the first epidemiologic study of urolithiasis from cats in the ROI and NI. The most prevalent types of uroliths in our study population were struvite and calcium oxalate. Due to the low number of urolith submissions, changes in the incidence of different uroliths could not be accurately determined. Increasing age was associated with calcium oxalate formation while younger cats were more commonly diagnosed with struvite urolithiasis which can be medically dissolved. Therefore, urolith dissolution is more likely to be successful in young cats than older cats.

对爱尔兰共和国和北爱尔兰(2010-2020年)131只猫尿石的回顾性分析
背景:在爱尔兰共和国(ROI)和北爱尔兰(NI)的猫中,不同类型尿石的比例尚未被调查过。本研究的目的是调查2010年至2020年期间,ROI和NI向明尼苏达州尿石中心提交的不同猫尿石类型的比例。本研究的另一个目的是确定与该地理区域猫的每种尿石类型相关的潜在危险因素。结果:共提交尿石131块,其中鸟粪石44.3%,草酸钙43.5%,化合物7.6%。在最初的4年里,只有11例尿石被提交。2015年之后,提交的作品数量有所增加,在2019年达到顶峰,提交了25份作品。由于数量少,无法得出关于尿石类型发生率随时间变化的结论。≤7岁的猫更容易被诊断为鸟粪石尿石(OR, 2.87 [1.37-6.06];p = 0.007),而≥7岁的猫患有草酸钙尿石(OR, 2.67, [1.29-5.37], p = 0.004)。结论:这是ROI和NI地区首次对猫尿石症进行流行病学研究。在我们的研究人群中,最常见的尿石类型是鸟粪石和草酸钙。由于尿石提交的数量较少,因此无法准确确定不同尿石发生率的变化。年龄的增长与草酸钙的形成有关,而年轻的猫更常被诊断为鸟粪石尿石症,可以通过药物溶解。因此,幼猫的尿石溶解比老猫更容易成功。

期刊介绍: Irish Veterinary Journal is an open access journal with a vision to make a substantial contribution to the dissemination of evidence-based knowledge that will promote optimal health and welfare of both domestic and wild species of animals. Irish Veterinary Journal has a clinical research focus with an emphasis on the effective management of health in both individual and populations of animals. Published studies will be relevant to both the international veterinary profession and veterinary scientists. Papers relating to veterinary education, veterinary ethics, veterinary public health, or relevant studies in the area of social science (participatory research) are also within the scope of Irish Veterinary Journal.
