| Abstract | ||
| Many forms of urinary tract disorder could occur in cats, that difficult in differentiation between them, so that, this study was conducted to detect the Ultrasonographical and doppler finding of urinary tract disorders in cats. Study include 49 cats suffer from urinary system diseases, and other 10 cats being clinically normal consider as control group. Examination include percutaneous ultrasound scanning of both kidneys and ureters and urinary bladder. From results the common changes appeared in the renal pelvis 43 (87.75%), bladder 28 (57.14%), bladder and renal pelvis 25 (51.02%), different types of urinary system disorders happen in cats, include bladder deposits in 3 cats (6.12%), cystitis in 23 cats (46.93%), and pyelonephritis in 37 cats (75.51%). Combined cystitis and renal pelvis were found in 35 cats (71.42%), while hydronephrosis was found in 22 cats (44.89%). No significant differences were found in the Doppler examination of diseased cats compared to healthy cats in the following values: left renal resistance index, blood flow velocity, first systolic velocity, and second systolic velocity for both the right and left kidneys. The study found various urinary tract disorders and the most common of which was renal pelvic inflammation, and ultrasound and doppler scanning consider easy noninvasive technique to detect urinary tract diseases in cats | ||
