ABSTRACT

 

Petito MR, Martorell CR, Caragelasco DS, Kogika MM.,  Restrospective evaluation of asymptomatic urinary tract infections in dogs with diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease and hyperadrenocorticism, Onl J Vet Res., 19(1): 32-37, 2015.  Diabetes mellitus (DM), chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hyperadrenocorticism (HAC) could induce urinary tract infection (UTI) in dogs. UTI occurs due to bacterial adhesion and colonization of the proximal urethra, urinary bladder, pelvis and/or kidneys. Prevalence and etiology of asymptomatic UTI in dogs with HAC, DM and CKD is reported. Of 145 dogs, 55 had DM, 60 CKD and 30 HAC. UTI was present in 27% DM, 30% CKD and 41% HAC dogs. In dogs with UTI, Escherichia coli was isolated from 53% DM, 61% CKD and 83% HAC dogs. The findings show that urine bacterial analisis should be used confirm UTI in dogs with CKD, DM or HAC.
