Epidemiologic study of risk factors for lower urinary tract diseases in cats

Abstract: Specific breed, age, sex, and neutering status may be associated with specific types of feline LUTD. Knowledge of patient risk factors for LUTD may facilitate development of surveillance strategies that enhance earlier detection.

“…Surveys on the prevalence of struvite and calcium oxalate uroliths in stone laboratories worldwide indicate that the occurrence of those two stones represents approximately 95 % of submissions. Struvite and calcium oxalate are more or less equally represented, with a slight advantage to one of them depending on the country (1 -8) .The most important risk factors for struvite formation are urinary pH and urine dilution, which will affect the concentrations of magnesium, ammonium and phosphate (4) . Contributing factors to struvite uroliths in cats may include periods of inclement weather in which cats tend to remain indoors for prolonged periods of time, inactivity, and feeding of low moisture, non-acidifying dry cat foods (9) .…”

“…Além disso evidenciou que não existe predisposição racial ou diferenças entre animais de pelo longo ou curto para o desenvolvimento da CIF. Em um outro estudo realizado nos Estados Unidos da América por Lekcharoensuk et al (2001), foi evidenciado que sim, existe predisposição racial para o desenvolvimento da cistite intersticial, sendo as raças mais acometidas: os Persas, Manx e Himaláia e a menos afetada, a raça Siamesa. Entretanto Jones et al (2011), avaliaram os possíveis fatores de risco associados a doença do trato urinário inferior dos felinos em 189 gatos na Nova Zelândia.…”

“…Embora a cristalúria seja assintomática, ela pode predispor, quando grave e persistente, ao desenvolvimento de urolitíase e, conseqüentemente a inflamação vesical e obstrução uretral (GUNN -MOORE, 2003 (LEKCHAROENSUK et al, 2001).…”

“…Um estudo de casos clínicos destacou o aumento do risco pela administração de dietas com teores elevados de magnésio, fósforo, cálcio, cloreto e fibras, níveis moderados de proteína e baixos teores de gordura (LEKCHAROENSUK et al, 2001). As dietas contendo 0,15 a 1,0% de magnésio na matéria seca estão associadas à formação de urólitos de estruvita.…”
