Medical records from cats diagnosed with uroliths at nine United States veterinary teaching hospitals from 1980 to 1999, and records of cats with uroliths submitted for analyses to the Minnesota Urolith Center from 1981 to 2000, were evaluated. A 10-fold increase in frequency of upper tract uroliths occurred in cats during the 20-year interval at the nine veterinary teaching hospitals. Calcium oxalate emerged as the predominant mineral type in upper tract uroliths, having increased more than 50-fold during the study period. These results emphasize the need for increased awareness of the occurrence of upper urinary tract uroliths in cats.
对1980年至1999年在美国9家兽医教学医院诊断为尿石症的猫的病历，以及1981年至2000年提交给明尼苏达尿石中心进行分析的猫尿石症记录进行了评估。在这9家兽医教学医院的20年期间，猫上尿路尿石症的发病率增加了10倍。草酸钙成为上尿路尿石症中占主导地位的矿物质类型，在研究期间增加了50倍以上。这些结果强调需要提高对猫上尿路尿石症发生情况的认识。
