To determine the prevalence of feline polycstic kidney disease in Persian cats presented to the University of Melbourne Veterinary Clinic and Hospital between February and August 1999.
A prospective clinical study using client owned animals was performed.
Two hundred and fifty Persian cats, ranging in age from 13 weeks to 10 years, were presented to the University of Melbourne Veterinary Clinic and Hospital for ultrasound examination of both kidneys. The cats were placed in dorsal and lateral recumbency and alcohol and ultrasonic coupling gel were applied to the skin. The kidneys were examined ultrasonographically in longitudinal, sagittal and transverse planes. Results were recorded for each cat at the time of examination as either negative or positive for PKD. In addition 14 Exotics (short-haired Persians), 4 Ragdolls and 3 British Short-Hair cats were examined.
Forty five percent of Persian cats examined were found to be positive for feline polycystic kidney disease on the basis of presence of anechoic cysts within the renal parenchyma. These cats ranged in age from 13 weeks to 10 years. Fifty per cent of the Exotic cats were positive for polycystic kidney disease whereas all Ragdolls and British Short Hairs were negative for the disease. Only one positive cat was reported to be showing clinical signs of renal disease.
The prevalence of feline polycstic disease in Persian cats presented to the University of Melbourne between February and August 1999 was 45%. Exotic cats were found to have the slightly higher incidence of 50%.
确定1999年2月至8月间送至墨尔本大学兽医诊所及医院的波斯猫中猫多囊肾病的患病率。
采用客户拥有的动物进行前瞻性临床研究。
250只年龄在13周龄至10岁之间的波斯猫被送至墨尔本大学兽医诊所及医院接受双肾超声检查。猫被置于背卧位和侧卧位，在皮肤上涂抹酒精和超声耦合剂。肾脏在纵切面、矢状切面和横切面上接受超声检查。检查时记录每只猫的结果，多囊肾病检测结果为阴性或阳性。此外，还检查了14只异国短毛猫（短毛波斯猫）、4只布偶猫和3只英国短毛猫。
根据肾实质内有无回声囊肿，检查的波斯猫中有45%被发现猫多囊肾病呈阳性。这些猫的年龄从13周龄至10岁不等。50%的异国短毛猫多囊肾病呈阳性，而所有布偶猫和英国短毛猫该疾病检测呈阴性。据报告，只有一只阳性猫表现出肾病的临床症状。
1999年2月至8月间送至墨尔本大学的波斯猫中猫多囊病的患病率为45%。发现异国短毛猫的发病率略高，为50%。
