“…The average body temperature of the six groups of Available at www.veterinaryworld.org/Vol.13/June-2020/13.pdf diseases indicated that they were in the normal range. This finding is in line with the previous studies that also found that the average body temperature in the case of FLUTD was 37.32°C±1.20°C [14].…”

Detection of feline idiopathic cystitis as the cause of feline lower urinary tract disease in Sleman Regency, Indonesia

2020

Background and Aim: Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) is one of the common cat diseases. The aim of this study was to detect feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC) as a cause of FLUTD in Sleman Regency, which is a problem in the population. Materials and Methods: Seventy-three cats with FLUTD symptoms were used from seven veterinary practices in Sleman Regency. The logging of each cat's medical history, clinical examination, urinalysis, routine blood screening, and ultrasonography was conducted to diagnose the cause of FLUTD. Results: The percentages of diseases causing FLUTD included FIC 21.9%, urolithiasis 57.5%, urinary tract infection (UTI) 16.4%, neoplasia 1.4%, trauma 1.4%, and nervous disorders 1.4%. Conclusion: FIC, one of the causes of FLUTD, is found in cats and has become a problem among the cat population in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Various handling and preventive efforts should be undertaken against the disease.

“…A significant increase (p<0.05) in heart rate was observed at different times, while there was a significant decrease in serum potassium concentrations, confirming the presumption that bradycardia can be attributed to hyperkalemia [9]. However, other studies [2,35] did not find such a correlation, attributing pain, and/or stress at the time of presentation to the activation of the sympathetic system and masking underlying bradycardia. Circulatory shock and accumulation of nitrogen compounds have also been reported to be associated with bradycardia and hypothermia [2,35].…”

Biochemical, electrolytic, and cardiovascular evaluations in cats with urethral obstruction

et al. 2021

Background and Aim: Urethral obstruction (UO) is a common condition in feline medicine. Severe acid-base and electrolyte disorders promote relevant electrocardiographic changes in these animals. Cardiac biomarkers such as cardiac troponin I have been shown to be useful in identifying cats with myocardial disease, but it has not been investigated whether UO leads to myocardial damages. This study aimed to evaluate biochemical changes, electrocardiographic findings, troponin I measurements, and electrolyte disturbances for 7 days in cats with UO. Materials and Methods: This follow-up prospective study included 33 cats diagnosed with UO for 7 days. For all cats, clinical examination, serum biochemistry, electrolyte analyses, blood pressure, and electrocardiography were performed. Cardiac troponin I was measured in the serum in 16 cats at 3 different times. Results: The mean age of the feline population was 1.83±1.58 years (mean±standard deviation). Creatinine, urea, blood urea nitrogen, glucose, phosphorus, base excess, bicarbonate, and serum potassium decreased significantly (p≤0.05), while ionic calcium and blood pH increased significantly (p≤0.05) at different times. Electrocardiographic abnormalities were observed in 21/33 (63.63%) of the felines on admission day. The electrocardiographic abnormalities were no longer observed on the subsequent days. Only one feline showed changes in troponin I cardiac concentrations. Conclusion: This study suggests the sum and severity of electrolyte abnormalities aggravate the clinical and cardiovascular status of these patients. However, cTnI, blood pressure, and heart rate within the reference range do not exclude the presence of major cardiovascular and metabolic abnormalities. The hyperglycemia in felines with UO appears to be associated with decreased renal clearance, which may reflect the severity of hyperkalemia and azotemia. The metabolic and cardiovascular changes of these felines are minimized by the establishment of appropriate intensive care; however, cardiac and blood gas monitoring is essential to assess the severity of the disease.

“…Na avaliação da citologia urinária os principais achados foram: presença de leucocitúria (90%), grande quantidade de hemácias (75%), células epiteliais tubulares (70%), presença de células em anel de sinete (40%) e célula da pelve renal (Figura 5A-C). Os achados da urinálise corroboram com outros já relatados como hematúria, proteinúria e moderada presença de leucócitos (NERI et al, 2016). A avaliação do sedimento urinário pode contribuir para o diagnóstico da DRA (LOOR et al, 2013).…”

Diante da prevalência da doença renal aguda em gatos com quadros obstrutivos e dos poucos estudos com marcadores moleculares de lesão renal aguda o objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar as lesões renais e identificar a precocidade da lesão renal com gama glutamiltransferase urinária. Foram utilizados 20 gatos machos adultos, de diferentes raças, portadores de obstrução urinária causada por uma cistite idiopática felina diagnosticada clinicamente, por exames laboratoriais e de imagem além de um grupo controle de 10 gatos. Foi observado aumento dos valores de creatinina (p=0, 0068), ureia (p=0,0033) e relação proteína/creatinina urinária (p<0,05) comparado ao grupo controle. Os valores de GGTu não apresentaram diferenças estatísticas entre os grupos.
