摘要: OBJECTIVE To determine results of double-contrast cystography in cats with idiopathic cystitis. DESIGN Retrospective study. ANIMALS 45 clinical signs nonobstructive lower urinary tract disease for which an underlying cause could not be determined. PROCEDURE Medical records and cystograms performed initially during 6- 12-month reevaluations were reviewed. RESULTS 105 Fifteen (33%) had abnormalities evident on obtained at the time initial examination. Of these, only 1 6 12 months later. Thirty did have a cystogram later another Abnormalities included focal thickening bladder wall (n = 11), diffuse (6), irregularities mucosa (10), decreased opacity (3), increased filling defects (4), contrast medium unexpected locations altered ureteral (15). CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Results suggested that large percentage cystitis do cystographic when examined but may apparent follow-up evaluations. In addition, smaller nonspecific or hemorrhage. Leakage into peritoneal space does necessarily require surgical management.
