Description

I hope to provide some practical tips on how to manage a few common urinary tract disorders. This will predominantly focus on urolithiasis in the lower urinary tract, including predicting stone type, treatment options (both dissolution and removal techniques) and preventive measures. I will introduce obstructive diseases in the upper urinary tract (i.e., ureteral obstruction), some medical options and then more advanced ‘bypass’ techniques. The use of antibiotics in urinary tract infections will be touched on, particularly to highlight good antimicrobial stewardship. And finally, a brief mention of two uncommon disorders that are often not recognised in veterinary practice, both idiopathic renal haematuria and reflex dyssynergia.
