ABSTRACT

Urolithiasis is a disease thatcan occur alone or together, obstruct the urinary flow, and even progress to the animal's death. Objective:The present study is to report the dissolution of calculus in the ureter in a kitten. Methodology: a feline, SRD, male, started at 3 months old with the signs of vomiting, constipation,and hematuria, presenting leukocytosis and increased serum urea. Two abdominal ultrasounds were performed 30 days apart and the third at 3 months. Results:Inthe first ultrasound there was hydronephrosis in the right kidney and dilation of the ureter and microlithiasis in the urinary bladder. The animalhad already been treated with antibiotic therapy and did not improve. Given these characteristics, Cantharis Vesicatoria30cH was administered, there was no more hematuria and when the drug was discontinued, the symptom returned. After 30 days of startinghomeopathic treatment, we repeated the ultrasound which showed 2 kidney stones, and a urinary bladder with cystitis associated with sandy lithiasis. BerberisVulgaris30cH was then administered for 15 days, after which both drugs were discontinued and theanimal remained asymptomatic. After 3 months the ultrasound was repeated which showed 2 kidney stones, Causticum6cH was inserted for 14 days to dissolvekidney stones, thus preventing the return of the initial symptoms. Conclusion:the treatment was beneficial for the patient, who was asymptomatic after the use of Causticum.Considering the natural history of the disease in cats and the high chance of recurrence of the disease, the recommendation was to monitor the organs through an annual ultrasound examination, in addition to encouraging water intake.

ABSTRACT

Urolithiasis affects the urinary tract of small ruminants, thereby requiring the animal to prematurely terminate breeding. Morphometric study of organs can be used as a diagnostic method. Thus, this study aimed to describe the macroscopic, histopathological, and histomorphometric changes in the urinary tract of sheep with urolithiasis. For this purpose, 14 healthy male Santa Inês sheep, approximately 90 days old, were studied and fed an experimental diet. After the development of urolithiasis, the animals were reorganized into two groups, D1 (without urolithiasis) and D2 (with urolithiasis) for comparative data analysis. Sheep were necropsied to evaluate the pathological changes, followed by macroscopic morphometric analysis, and the histopathological and histomorphometric characteristics were described. Urethral necrosis and a full urinary bladder were observed in all animals that developed the disease. The comparison between sheep with and without urolithiasis showed no significant difference (P < 0.05) in the evaluated macroscopic morphometric variables, except for the right ureter width. Regarding the histopathological evaluation, multifocal areas of mild to moderate congestion within the glomerular tufts and protein in the tubular lumen of the kidneys were observed. In the liver, mild to moderate fatty degeneration was noted in the centrolobular regions, and an ulcerated focal area in the bladder mucosa was observed in only one animal. The present study demonstrated that the formulated diet was effective in inducing clinical disease. In acute obstructive urolithiasis in sheep tissue, lesions in the liver and urinary tract were observed, although there were no significant histomorphometric changes.(AU)


Urolitíase acomete o trato urinário de pequenos ruminantes causando a saída prematura de animais destinados à reprodução. O estudo morfométrico dos órgãos pode ser empregado como método de auxílio diagnóstico. Assim, este estudo objetivou descrever as alterações macroscópicas, histopatológicas e histomorfométricas do trato urinário de ovinos com urolitíase. Com esse fim, foram utilizados 14 ovinos hígidos, machos, da raça Santa Inês com idade aproximada de 90 dias, que receberam dieta experimental. Após o desenvolvimento da urolitíase os animais foram reorganizados em dois grupos experimentais distintos D1 (sem urolitíase) e D2 (com urolitíase) para a análise comparada dos dados. Os ovinos foram necropsiados para descrição das alterações patológicas, seguindo-se a análise morfométrica macroscópica e descrição quanto as características histopatológicas e histomorfométricas. Necrose de processo uretral e bexiga urinária repleta foram observados em todos os animais que desenvolveram a doença. Na comparação entre os ovinos com e sem urolitíase não houve diferença significativa (P < 0,05) nas variáveis morfométricas macroscópicas avaliadas, a exceção da largura do ureter direito. Quanto à avaliação histopatológica, foram observadas áreas multifocais de discreta a moderada congestão dos tufos glomerulares e proteína no lúmen tubular nos rins. No fígado, observou-se nas regiões centrolobulares, discreta a moderada degeneração gordurosa e apenas em um animal foi observada, macro e microscopicamente, área focal ulcerada na mucosa da bexiga. Os achados da presente pesquisa demonstraram que a dieta formulada foi eficaz na indução da doença clínica. Na urolitíase obstrutiva aguda em ovinos, lesões teciduais em fígado e trato urinário são observadas, mas não há alterações histomorfométricas significativas.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumen La urolitiasis es la presencia de concreciones minerales de los cristales de orina en las vías urinarias. En los equinos esta patología tiene una prevalencia baja (0,4% a 0,5%), su presentación se da en riñones y vejiga generalmente, siendo ésta última el sitio de mayor frecuencia. Los urolitos más reportados en caballos se encuentran compuestos por carbonato de calcio. El diagnóstico se realiza comúnmente relacionando los hallazgos del examen clínico junto con la ecografía. Para el tratamiento se realiza abordaje quirúrgico. Un equino macho castrado, criollo colombiano, de doce años y un peso de 350 kg fue remitido para interconsulta por la presentación histórica de dos meses de pigmenturia y disuria, a la palpación transrectal se encontró una estructura redonda y compacta de aproximadamente 7 cm de diámetro ubicada en la vejiga, lo cual fue confirmado mediante ecografía vesical y cistoscopia, a su vez, se realizó citología del sedimento urinario. El abordaje terapéutico se hizo mediante manejo médico y quirúrgico por la técnica de cistotomía asistida por laparoscopia. El objetivo de este artículo es describir el primer reporte de caso de un urolito y de una cistotomía asistida por laparoscopia en un Caballo Criollo Colombiano.


Abstract Urolithiasis is the presence of mineral concretions or urine crystals at the urinary tract. In horses, urolithiasis has a relatively low prevalence (​0.4% to 0.5%), its presentation occurs at the level of the kidneys and the urinary bladder, the last one is the site of the greatest presentation. Most of the uroliths in horses are constituted for calcium carbonate. The diagnosis is commonly made by relating the findings of the clinical examination along with the ultrasound. Surgical resolution is the election for treatment. The patient was a 350 kg, twelve years old Colombian creole gelding referred with historical presentation of two months of pigmenturia and dysuria, to the transrectal palpation a round structure of approximately 7 cm of diameter was located in the urinary bladder, which was confirmed by ultrasound and cystoscopy, in addition, cytology of the urinary sediment was performed. The therapeutic approach was made with medical and surgical management by assisted laparoscopic approach. The aim of this case report is to describe for the first time a case of urolithiasis and its resolution by assisted laparoscopy in a Colombian Creole Horse.


Resumo A urolitíase é a presença de concreções minerais macroscópicas de cristais de urina no trato urinário. A prevalência desta afeccão em equinos é relativamente baixa (0,4% a 0,5%), geralmente acomete rins e vesicula urinária, sendo esta última o principal local de apresentação. A maior porcentagem dos urólitos de equinos é composta de carbonato de cálcio. O diagnóstico é comumente feito pela associacão dos achados do exame clínico e ultrassonográficos. A abordargem cirurgica é normalmente o tratamento de escolha, sendo realizada por meio de laparocistotomia. O paciente deste relato era um cavalo crioulo colombiano, com doze anos e pesando 350 kg, que foi encaminhado com histórico de dois meses de pigmenturia e disúria. A palpação transretal revelou uma estrutura esférica de cerca de 7 cm de diâmetro dentro bexiga, o foi confirmado por ultrassonografia e cistoscopia, seguido por citologia do sedimento urinário . A abordagem terapêutica foi realizada com manejo médico e cirúrgico, que consistiu de técnica de cistotomia assistida por videolaparoscopia. O objetivo deste relato de caso é descrever o primeiro caso de um urólito e uma cistotomia assistida por laparoscopia em um Cavalo Crioulo Colombiano.

ABSTRACT

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar três casos de urolitíase canina por cistina, atendidos no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Estadual de Londrina entre o período de 2007 a 2009. O diagnóstico de urolitíase foi baseado na anamnese, no exame físico e nos exames laboratoriais e radiográficos, e a confirmação do tipo de urólito envolvido foi realizada no Centro de Urólitos de Minnesota-USA, por meio de análise quantitativa, revelando cálculos puros de cistina. A terapia instituída incluiu a remoção cirúrgica dos urólitos e a prevenção de recidivas, por meio do aumento da solubilidade da cistina na urina com dieta comercial própria, aumento da ingestão hídrica e alcalinização medicamentosa da urina.


Three cases of canine cystine urolithiasis were reported at the Veterinary Hospital of Londrina State University in the period from 2007 to 2009. The diagnosis of urolithiasis was based on clinical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and radiographs, and the confirmation of the urolith type was performed at the Minnesota Urolith Center - USA, trough quantitative analysis, showing pure cystine uroliths. The therapy administered in both cases included surgical removal of the uroliths and prevention of recurrence by increasing the solubility of cystine in the urine with a commercial diet, increased fluid intake and alkalinization of the urine.
