Consumer use of integrative health care is growing, but evidence-based research on its efficacy is limited. Research of veterinary lower urinary tract diseases could be translated to human medicine because veterinary patients are valuable translational models for human urinary tract infection and urolithiasis. An overview of complementary therapies for lower urinary tract disease includes cranberry supplements, mannose, oral probiotics, acupuncture, methionine, herbs, or herbal preparations. Therapies evaluated in dogs and cats, in vitro canine cells, and other relevant species, in vivo and in vitro, are presented for their potential use as integrative therapies for veterinary patients and/or translational research.
消费者对综合医疗保健的使用正在增加，但关于其疗效的循证研究有限。兽医下尿路疾病的研究可以转化到人类医学领域，因为兽医患者是人类尿路感染和尿路结石的宝贵转化模型。下尿路疾病的补充疗法概述包括蔓越莓补充剂、甘露糖、口服益生菌、针灸、蛋氨酸、草药或草药制剂。本文介绍了在犬猫、犬类体外细胞及其他相关物种中进行的体内和体外疗法评估，这些疗法有望作为兽医患者的综合疗法和/或转化研究。
