Pattern of clinicopathological parameters of cats with lower urinary tract diseases presented to University Veterinary Hospital, UPM

Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) is among the most common diseases reported in cats in various countries globally. A retrospective cohort study was conducted based on 173 FLUTD cases recorded in 2016 at the Clinical Pathology Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, UPM and follow...

A retrospective cohort study was conducted based on 173 FLUTD cases recorded in 2016 at the Clinical Pathology Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, UPM and followed by examination of the case profiles at the University Veterinary Hospital, UPM. Data collected included patient signalments, haematological, serum biochemical and urinalysis results. The specific risk parameters were age, breed, sex, lifestyle, diet, weight, clinical signs, leukogram (white blood cells (WBC) count), serum biochemistry (globulin, urea and creatinine levels) and urinalysis (pH, haematuria, proteinuria, pyuria, and bacteriuria) which were analysed using SPSS 22.0 software program. Results showed that Domestic Short Hair (DSH) male cat, weighing 3.00-3.99 kg with average body condition score (BCS) of 3, living indoor in a multicat household and eating non-prescription dry feed made up the significant attributes of the most common profile of FLUTD cases.
