Urate uroliths belong to the purine family of uroliths and are the third most common urolith type in dogs and cats. In dalmatians, an autosomal recessive trait is responsible for hyperuricosuria and a predisposition to urate urolithiasis. In other dog breeds and in cats, urate uroliths are predominantly associated with liver disease, specifically portosystemic vascular anomalies. Idiopathic urate uroliths may occur in animals without liver disease. Ammonium urate uroliths are most common. Urate uroliths are amenable to medical dissolution. This article reviews the pathogenesis and management of urate urolithiasis.
尿酸盐尿石属于尿石的嘌呤类，是犬猫中第三常见的尿石类型。在大麦町犬中，一种常染色体隐性性状导致高尿酸尿症和易患尿酸盐尿石症。在其他犬种和猫中，尿酸盐尿石主要与肝脏疾病相关，特别是门体循环血管异常。特发性尿酸盐尿石可能发生在没有肝脏疾病的动物中。尿酸铵尿石最为常见。尿酸盐尿石适合药物溶解。本文综述了尿酸盐尿石症的发病机制和治疗方法。
