  13. Canine and Feline UrolithiasisTreatment & Prevention • Treatment Dietary & Medical dissolution Surgical Non-surgical retrieval • Prevention of recurrence Dietary modifications Water intake

  14. Canine and Feline UrolithiasisDietary management • Undersaturate the urine Excretion of building blocks Urine volume • Urinary pH favorable to stone dissolution

  15. Feline Lower Urinary Tract DiseaseStruvite & calcium oxalate • No single diet for both struvite and calcium oxalate • Conflicting actions of several key nutrients • Clinical diagnosis is essential

  16. pH Mg PO4 Na Canine and Feline Urolithiasis Lower Urinary Tract Disease Struvite Ca Oxalate

  17. Feline Lower Urinary Tract DiseaseStruvite Patient profile • Female • Younger cat, < 7 years • Obese • Indoor, multi-cat household • Low water intake • More alkaline urinary pH (> 6.5)

  18. Feline Lower Urinary Tract DiseaseCalcium oxalate Patient profile • Male (neutered) • Older cat > 4 years • Obese • Persian, Himalayan, Burmese • Indoor, urban • More acid urinary pH

  19. Feline Lower Urinary Tract DiseaseCalcium oxalate Medical history • History of calcium oxalate, documented by quantitative urolith analysis • No response to appropriate dietary struvite therapy • Inappropriate use of urinary acidifiers

  20. Feline Lower Urinary Tract DiseaseCalcium oxalate • Treatment Surgery • Prevention Avoid dietary and medical risk factors

  21. Feline Lower Urinary Tract DiseaseCalcium oxalate Dietary risk factors • Excess vitamin C & D • Acidification • Ad libitum feeding • Moderate protein = protective • Very low protein = risk factor • Low fiber • Feeding dry • Excessive Ca & P restriction

  22. Feline Lower Urinary Tract DiseaseCalcium oxalate Nutrient profile • Potassium citrate • Urinary pH 6.6-6.8 • Increased moisture • Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) • Soluble fiber • Moderate magnesium

  23. Feline Lower Urinary Tract DiseaseStruvite Mg - NH4 - PO4 . 6H20 • Magnesium • Ammonium • Anionic phosphate

  24. Feline Lower Urinary Tract DiseaseStruvite Dietary management • Reduced magnesium Less than 20 mg/100 kcal ME Less than 0.1% (dry matter) • Increased diuresis Water Sodium

  25. Feline Lower Urinary Tract DiseaseStruvite Dietary management • Acid urine pH • Avoid over-acidification Metabolic acidosis Renal disease • Dissolution - urinary pH 5.9 - 6.1 • Prevention - normal acid urinary pH 6.2-6.4

  26. Canine and Feline UrolithiasisUrinary acidification • Decrease in urine pH from 8.5 to 5.5 • NH4+ - 1000 x Increase • PO4 3- - 13 000 x decrease • Moderately acid urine • pH : 6.2 - 6.4

  27. Contra-indicaties voor verzurend dieet • Nierinsufficiëntie • Groei (ontkalking) • Acidose • Ca-oxalaat stenen • Urineverzuurders toevoegen aan verzurend dieet

  28. Feline Lower Urinary Tract DiseaseStruvite Dietary management • Feed calculolytic diet exclusively • 1 - 2 months • Longer if UTI is present • If no reduction of calculi after 2 months, surgery should be considered

  29. Canine UrolithiasisStruvite Mg - NH4 - PO4 . 6H20 CrystalDiet • Magnesium Magnesium • Ammonium Protein • Anionic phosphate Phosphorus

  30. Canine UrolithiasisStruvite - Dissolution Nutrients • Minimize protein • Reduce magnesium • Reduce phosphorus • Stimulate water intake • Increase sodium Acidify urine

  31. Canine UrolithiasisStruvite - Dissolution % DM Normal Calculolytic FoodsDiet • Protein 15 - 60 7.6 • Magnesium 0.03 - 0.27 0.02 • Phosphorus 0.41 - 2.43 0.10 • Sodium 0.11 - 2.22 1.28 • Urinary pH 6.7 - 8.3 5.9 - 6.1

  32. Canine UrolithiasisStruvite - Dissolution • Feed calculolytic diet exclusively • Treat urinary tract infection • Continue treatment till 4 weeks after radiographic dissolution

  33. Canine UrolithiasisStruvite - Dissolution Monthly evaluation • Radiography • Serum urea nitrogen (SUN) • Urinalysis: crystals, culture bacteria Owner compliance • Struvite crystalluria • SUN > 10 mg/dl

  34. Canine UrolithiasisStruvite - Dissolution Reasons for failure • Insufficient time • Non-compliance by owner • Urinary tract infection • Non-Struvite urolith

  35. Canine UrolithiasisStruvite - Treatment Indications for surgery • Obstruction • Anatomical defects • No response to medical treatment • Diet is contraindicated

  36. Canine UrolithiasisStruvite - Treatment Diet contra-indications • Sodium retention Heart failure, hypertension, liver disease, nephrotic syndrome • Increased protein requirements Pregnancy, lactation, growth, cats • Acidifing diet Renal insuff., metabolic acidosis, growth, Ca-ox.

  37. Canine UrolithiasisStruvite - Prevention Prevention of recurrence • Urinary acidification • Moderate reduction of protein, Mg, P • Moderate sodium level

  38. Canine UrolithiasisCalcium oxalate Treatment • Surgery • Hydropropulsion

  39. Canine UrolithiasisCalcium oxalate Verminderen uitscheiding bouwstenen • Calcium Ca-opname + Calciurie Vitamine D3: Ca aborptie + indirect calciurie P: te laag: stimulatie Vit D3 Na: stimulatie calciurie Zure urine: stimulatie calciurie • Oxalaat: spinazie, rubarber, chocolade

  40. Canine UrolithiasisCalcium oxalate Verhogen inhibitoren • Magnesium • pH urine: Alkalinserend: vb. K-citraat Dierlijke eiwitten verzuren: hoge eiwitopname vermijden Andere: wateropname

  41. Canine UrolithiasisCalcium oxalate - Prevention Prevention of recurrence • Avoid excessive intake of protein • Low calcium intake • Low oxalate intake • Low sodium intake • Avoid urinary acidification • Potassium citrate

  42. Canine UrolithiasisCalcium oxalate Prevention of recurrence • Advanced renal failure diet

  43. Canine UrolithiasisAmmonium urate - Treatment Dissolution • Dietary management • Allopurinol • Urinary tract infection

  44. Meat diets Canine UrolithiasisAmmonium urate - Treatment Allopurinol  Xanthine + Xanthine oxidase Purine / Pyrimidine (Nucleic acids & Cell nuclei) Uric acid + Uricase (Defect in Dalmatians) Allantoin

  45. Canine UrolithiasisAmmonium urate - Treatment Dietary management • Ammonium - Low protein • Urate - Low purine Muscle & organ tissue = high in purines Egg & casein = low in purines • Alkalinize urine

  46. H+ NH4+ NH3 Canine UrolithiasisAlkalinize urine Decreases NH4+ concentration

  47. Canine UrolithiasisAmmonium urate - Treatment • Advanced renal failure diet • 8 - 11 weeks required for dissolution • Monitor for urethral obstruction

  48. Canine UrolithiasisAmmonium urate - Prevention Prevention of recurrence • Advanced renal failure diet Low in protein & purines Alkalinizing the urine • Allopurinol

  49. Canine UrolithiasisCystine - Composition = Cysteïne - Cysteïne Genetische afwijking: gestoorde reabsorptie van Cystine: weinig oplosbaar Ornithine Lysine wateroplosbaar Alanine
