Cat (Felis catus) — Nephrolithiasis (hereditary; OMIA-verified species predisposition)

Source: first-hand OMIA (University of Sydney) species-specific hereditary-disorder record, saved verbatim to source_file; every claim below is a C1 byte-substring of it.

Claims

  • Species: Cat (Felis catus)
  • Disorder: Nephrolithiasis
  • Summary: Upper urinary tract uroliths make of 4% of all uroliths affecting the urinary tract (Gomes et al., 2018). Etiology of nephrolithiasis may be multifactorial and consequently inducing the syndrome of urolithiasis (see also OMIA 001033-9685 : Urolithiasis in Felis catus).
  • Clin feat: Often asymptomatic with non-specific hematuria (Osborne et al., 1996). (Compiled by Rachel Natsume 13/9/2021)
