Numerous inherited and congenital disorders may affect the urinary system of cats. Those associated with clinical signs include renal dysplasia, renal hypoplasia, polycystic kidneys, ectopic ureters, urachal anomalies, and fistulas between the lower urinary tract and other structures. Acquired disorders of the urinary system of immature cats have been uncommonly recognized. Further studies are warranted to better define their prevalence in immature cats.
许多遗传性和先天性疾病可能会影响猫的泌尿系统。与临床症状相关的疾病包括肾发育不全、肾发育不良、多囊肾、异位输尿管、脐尿管异常以及下尿路与其他结构之间的瘘管。幼猫泌尿系统的后天性疾病很少被认识到。有必要进行进一步研究以更好地确定它们在幼猫中的患病率。
