| Urinary tract stones (urolithiasis) are a significant health concern in cats, affecting both lower and upper urinary tracts and potentially causing severe complications such as obstruction, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and mortality (Urolithiasis in cats: Evaluation of trends in urolith composition and risk factors, 2005–2018). The most common stone types are calcium oxalate (CaOx) and struvite, though prevalence has changed over time. Breed, age, sex, and underlying conditions strongly influence stone formation. Older male cats are more prone to CaOx stones, while younger female cats tend to develop struvite stones (Retrospective analysis of 131 feline uroliths from ROI and NI, 2010–2020). In this study, a six-month retrospective evaluation at a Qazvin veterinary clinic included 543 cats. Approximately 7% had urinary tract stones, with 90% in the bladder and 10% in the kidneys. Males were overrepresented (ratio 3:2), and Persian and Domestic Shorthair breeds were most affected. Urinalysis revealed hematuria in 72%, crystalluria in 89%, and urine pH >7 in 40% of affected cats, consistent with struvite formation (Factors associated with hematuric struvite crystalluria in cats; Evaluation of urinalyses from untreated adult cats with lower urinary tract disease). Stone type was closely associated with urine characteristics, age, and sex. These results highlight the predictive value of urinalysis, combined with clinical assessment and imaging, for effective diagnosis and management. Recognizing individual risk factors such as age, sex, breed, diet, and lifestyle is essential for optimizing treatment and preventive strategies, ultimately improving feline urinary health outcomes. | ||
