OBJECTIVE
To review the clinical features of stone disease in dogs and cats for a non-veterinary audience.
METHODS
Relevant peer-reviewed scientific reports were reviewed.
RESULTS
Lower urinary tract stones are more common in dogs and cats than they are in humans. In addition to struvite stones, calcium oxalate, urate and cystine stones are all commonly found in the bladder and the urethra. The genetic basis for stone disease in some breeds of dog has been elucidated. The small size of cats creates technical challenges when managing ureterolithiasis.
CONCLUSIONS
Naturally occurring stone disease in companion animals is a valuable area for further study. The structure of the canine genome might facilitate the identification of novel disease loci in breeds of dog predisposed to stone formation.
目的
为非兽医受众综述犬猫结石病的临床特征。
方法
查阅了相关的同行评审科学报告。
结果
下尿路结石在犬猫中比在人类中更常见。除磷酸铵镁结石外，草酸钙、尿酸盐和胱氨酸结石在膀胱和尿道中也都很常见。已经阐明了某些犬种结石病的遗传基础。在处理输尿管结石时，猫的体型小会带来技术挑战。
结论
伴侣动物自然发生的结石病是一个值得进一步研究的重要领域。犬类基因组的结构可能有助于在易患结石形成的犬种中识别新的疾病基因座。
