To evaluate dietary and environmental factors as potential risk factors for calcium oxalate urolithiasis in cats.
Case-control study.
84 cats with uroliths composed of at least 90% calcium oxalate and 258 age- and gender-matched control cats.
Owners of cats with calcium oxalate urolithiasis and control cats were surveyed between November 1990 and August 1992. Owners completed a standard questionnaire administered during a single telephone interview. Data collected included information regarding signalment, environment, urination and defecation, diet, and medical history.
Calcium oxalate uroliths tended to develop in middle- to older-aged, domestic shorthair cats of typical weight. A gender predilection was not detected. Factors associated with an increase in the risk of calcium oxalate urolithiasis in cats were feeding urine-acidifying diets, feeding a single brand of cat food without providing additional foods or table scraps, maintaining cats in an indoor-only environment, and being of the Persian breed.
Control of diet and environment may help prevent calcium oxalate urolithiasis.
评估饮食和环境因素作为猫草酸钙尿石症潜在危险因素的情况。
病例对照研究。
84只尿石中至少90%为草酸钙的猫以及258只年龄和性别匹配的对照猫。
在1990年11月至1992年8月期间对患有草酸钙尿石症的猫和对照猫的主人进行调查。主人在一次电话访谈中完成一份标准问卷。收集的数据包括有关特征、环境、排尿和排便、饮食及病史的信息。
草酸钙尿石倾向于在体重正常的中老年家养短毛猫中形成。未发现性别偏好。与猫草酸钙尿石症风险增加相关的因素包括喂食酸化尿液的饮食、只喂单一品牌猫粮而不提供其他食物或残羹剩饭、将猫饲养在仅室内的环境中以及波斯猫品种。
控制饮食和环境可能有助于预防草酸钙尿石症。
