Morphology of the bladder wall in idiopathic feline cystitis

In feline idiopathic cystitis, morphological changes were found mainly in the mucosa and submucosal layer of the bladder wall. They are characterized by hyperplasia and congestion of blood vessels. Morphometric assessment of the main structures of the bladder wall in cats with idiopathic cystitis revealed an increase in the thickness of the mucous membrane due to a decrease in the thickness of the submucosal layer and muscular membrane. When using anti-stress therapy on the 14th day from the start of treatment, a decrease in a similar indicator was observed due to an increase in the thickness of the submucosal layer and muscle membrane. In control cats, after the application of the generally accepted treatment regimen, the processes of regeneration of the bladder wall were insignificantly expressed.
