BACKGROUND
Cholelithiasis is a digestive system disorder of multifactorial origin that occurs due to stones formed in the gallbladder. This study aimed at investigating by abdominal ultrasound examination the prevalence of cholelithiasis in lion tamarins kept under human care.
METHODS
Thirty lion tamarins from five Brazilian zoos, including 17 golden lion tamarins and 13 golden-headed lion tamarins, were evaluated.
RESULTS
Considering all lion tamarins, the overall frequency of cholelithiasis was 53.3% (16/30). There were no significant differences between species and sex. Cholelithiasis was predominant (75.0%) in lion tamarins older than 5 years. Septate gallbladder was observed in 86.6% (26/30) of the lion tamarins. Of these, 53.8% (14/26) had gallstones. Biochemical analysis revealed a moderate positive correlation between gamma-glutamyl transferase and the number of gallstones.
CONCLUSIONS
Asymptomatic cholelithiasis is frequent in lion tamarins kept under human care. Therefore, systematic monitoring through ultrasound should be part of the preventive care of these animals.
背景
胆结石是一种多因素起源的消化系统疾病，由胆囊中形成的结石引起。本研究旨在通过腹部超声检查调查人工饲养的狮狨中胆结石的患病率。
方法
对来自巴西五个动物园的30只狮狨进行了评估，其中包括17只金狮狨和13只金头狮狨。
结果
在所有狮狨中，胆结石的总体发生率为53.3%（16/30）。物种和性别之间无显著差异。5岁以上的狮狨中胆结石最为常见（75.0%）。86.6%（26/30）的狮狨观察到有分隔胆囊。其中，53.8%（14/26）有胆结石。生化分析显示γ-谷氨酰转移酶与胆结石数量之间存在中度正相关。
结论
人工饲养的狮狨中无症状胆结石很常见。因此，通过超声进行系统监测应成为这些动物预防保健的一部分。
