“…Using the method of roentgenography we can determine the anatomical location and shape of the bladder, the presence of radio-opaque uroliths with a diameter of over 3 mm, bladder anomalies, calcification of the bladder wall and accumulation of gases. Positive/negative or double contrast roentgenograpy and ultrasonography of the abdominal organs allow a detailed study of the bladder to diagnose urocystitis by measuring the thickness of the bladder wall, detecting stones, blood clots, bladder rupture, neoplasia, dislocation and diverticulum (Farrow, 2003;Hostutler et al, 2005;Kealy et al, 2011). The use of cytokines as potentially non-invasive biomarkers for the diagnosis and determination of the effectiveness of treatment of idiopathic urocystitis in cats is suggested (Parys et al, 2018).…”

The results of a study of cats with signs of urocystitis are presented. The general principles of diagnostics based on clinical, laboratory and additional research methods are established. Clinically acute urocystitis was manifested by disorders of urination – pollakiuria, dysuria, stranguria. Some of the animals showed an increase in body temperature, pain in the bladder and tightness of the walls of the abdominal cavity. According to the results of urine study, it was observed that 43.7% of the cats with urocystitis showed an increase in relative density of the urine, a change in urine pH towards higher alkaline levels, urine residue – erythrocytes, leukocytes and microorganisms were indicated. Impurities of salt and sand were found in 58.4% of the cats. In 31.4% of the cats, urocystitis was a complication of urolithiasis. Early diagnosis, especially differential diagnosis of acute and chronic, secondary urocystitis presents difficulties. Therefore, in cases of suspected inflammatory diseases of the urinary tract, a complex examination using ultrasound of the kidneys, bladder, prostate gland (in males) and the uterus (in females) is recommended.With therapeutic purpose, sick cats (two groups of 8 animals/group) were administered: anti-microbial agent (5% solution of Enrofloxacin), spasmolytic medicinal agent – Riabal®. Animals of the second group were additionally administered the drug Cystocure (Candioli Farmaceutici). According to the instructions, the plant basis of the powder Cystocure is presented by extracts of cranberries and orange peels. These substances provide the main properties of the drug – help in resisting the bacterial colonization of the lower urinary tract and change in urine pH to the acid side. The applied therapy positively influenced the clinical condition of the cats. Their general health was improved, painful sensations during the act of urination disappeared, the quantity and frequency of diuresis normalized. On the seventh day of treatment, according to the results of the study, the urine became transparent, no microorganisms were detected. In cats of the second group, which additionally used the drug Cystocure, the amount of salts and sand decreased significantly, the pH of the urine did not exceed the recommended value of 6.4, in contrast to animals of the first group.

“…In a full bladder, localization, size, opacity and presence of radiopaque stones can easily be determined by radiography (3,10). Radiopaque stones could be determined by radiography and radiolucent stones were identified by ultrasonography in this study.…”

“…Anatomical position and shape of the bladder, radiopaque calculi larger than 3 mm in diameter, bladder abnormalities, calcifications of the bladder wall, and gas accumulations can be diagnosed using plain abdominal radiographs. Positive/negative, or double-contrast radiography and abdominal ultrasonography allow a detailed examination of the bladder to diagnose cystitis through measuring bladder wall thickness and attaining presence of small and/or radiolucent calculi, blood clots, bladder rupture, neoplasia, dislocation and diverticulum (3,6,10).…”

Summary:The aim of this study was to evaluate lower urinary tract diseases of cats with plain radiography, ultrasonography and contrast cystography retrospectively and assess the most appropriate imaging method for each disease. In the study, 134 cats with different age, sex and breed were presented with one or more clinical signs of lower urinary tract diseases (LUTD). All cats were evaluated by radiography and ultrasonography, and contrast radiography had been performed on cats, in which plain radiography and ultrasonography were inadequate for diagnosing LUTD. LUTD included cystitis (n=20), urinary crystals (n=35), urinary crystals with cystitis (n=51), bladder calculi (n=6), bladder polyps (n=8), blood clots (n=9), bladder rupture (n=1) and idiopathic obstructions (n=4). The present study confirms that ultrasonography is an efficient imaging method for examination of lower urinary tract, but radiography and contrast cystography are still useful for diagnosing calculi, bladder ruptures, suspected urethral obstructions, and chronic cystitis which can not be evaluated by ultrasonography.Keywords: Cat, cystography, lower urinary tract diseases, radiography, ultrasonography. Kedilerde alt idrar yolu hastalıklarının radyolojik ve ultrasonografik değerlendirmesiÖzet: Bu çalışmanın amacı, kedilerin alt idrar yolu hastalıklarının direkt radyografi, ultrasonografi, kontrast sistografi ile retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmesi ve her hastalık için en uygun görüntüleme metodunun ortaya konmasıdır. Çalışmada farklı yaş, cinsiyet ve ırkta 134 kedi, alt idrar yolu hastalıklarının bir veya daha fazla klinik bulgusu ile getirilmiştir. Kedilerin tamamı radyografi ve ultrasonografi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Alt idrar yolu hastalığı olarak sistitis (n=20), idrar kristalleri (n=35), sistitisle birlikte seyreden idrar kristalleri (n=51), idrar taşları (n=6), idrar kesesi polipleri (n=8), idrar kesesi içindeki kan pıhtıları (n=9), idrar kesesi rupturu (n=1) ve idiopatik obstrüksiyonlar (n=4) belirlenmiştir. İdrar kesesinin opak taşları direkt abdominal radyografi ile kolaylıkla tespit edilmiştir. Kronik sistitis ve idrar kesesi rupturunun belirlenmesinde kontrast sistografi; sistitis, taş, kristal, polip ve kan pıhtılarının teşhisi için ultrasonografi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada, alt idrar yollarının değerlendirilmesinde ultrasonografinin yeterli bir görüntüleme metodu olduğu doğrulanmış, ancak radyografi ve kontrast sistografinin de idrar taşı, idrar rupturu, şüpheli idrar yolu obstrüksiyonu ve ultrasonografi ile belirlenemeyen kronik sistitis teşhisinde yararlı olduğu görülmüştür. Anahtar sözcükler: Alt idrar yolu hastalıkları, kedi, radyografi, sistografi, ultrasonografi.
