Feline Urolithiasis

This presentation on Feline Urolithiasis provides a comprehensive scientific overview of urinary stone formation in cats. It begins with an introduction, defining the condition and its clinical significance. The types of uroliths section categorizes stones based on mineral composition, followed by a historical background that traces the evolution of knowledge and management strategies. Global and regional statistics highlight prevalence and distribution patterns. The causes and risk factors sections analyze dietary, genetic, metabolic, and environmental contributors. Clinical recognition is addressed under signs and symptoms, while diagnosis outlines laboratory and imaging modalities for accurate identification. Evidence-based treatment and management options are then presented, with emphasis on dietary dissolution, surgical intervention, and long-term prevention. The prognosis section evaluates clinical outcomes across different urolith types, supported by a detailed case study. Finally, future prospects explore advances in screening and therapeutics, while holistic solutions, conclusion, and references summarize integrative approaches and scientific validation.
