In this study data on composition of uroliths collected from cats and epidemiologic data of affected cats in Switzerland from 2002 to 2009 are summarised. Of 884 stones analysed 50% (n=441) were composed of calcium oxalate, 45% (n=398) of struvite, 3% (n=18) of ammonium urate, 1% (n=12) were mixed stones, 1% (n=9) were composed of silica, 3 stones were solidified blood, 2 consisted of cystine and 1of xanthine. 40% of the ureteral stones were composed of struvite. Domestic cats had significantly less calcium oxalate stones compared to British Shorthair or Persian cats. Cats with calcium oxalate stones were older and cats with struvite stones were younger than other affected cats. Female and male cats were equally affected with stones. Compared to studies from other countries, in Switzerland silica stones occurred more often and ureteral stones were more often composed of Struvite. The present study shows that occurrence and prevalence of urinary calculi of cats from Switzerland exhibited only slight differences to studies from other countries.
本研究总结了2002年至2009年从瑞士猫身上收集的尿石成分数据以及患病猫的流行病学数据。在分析的884颗结石中,50%(n = 441)为草酸钙结石,45%(n = 398)为鸟粪石,3%(n = 18)为尿酸铵结石,1%(n = 12)为混合性结石,1%(n = 9)为硅石结石,3颗为凝固血液结石,2颗为胱氨酸结石,1颗为黄嘌呤结石。40%的输尿管结石为鸟粪石。与英国短毛猫或波斯猫相比,家猫的草酸钙结石明显较少。患有草酸钙结石的猫年龄较大,而患有鸟粪石结石的猫比其他患病猫年龄小。雌性和雄性猫受结石影响的情况相同。与其他国家的研究相比,在瑞士,硅石结石更常见,输尿管结石更常由鸟粪石组成。本研究表明,瑞士猫尿结石的发生率和患病率与其他国家的研究相比只有轻微差异。
