Feline idiopathic cystitis: What we sould know
Keywords:
Cat, lower urinary tract disease, stress, multimodal treatmentAbstract
Feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC) is a common disease found in domiciled cats, being one of the main causes of lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD). The purpose of this review is to address the general aspects of CIF, current data on the indicated epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and therapy indicated for this pathology that affects both felines. Its causes are poorly understood and its pathophysiology is uncertain, involving the association between stressful stimuli and the response of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system in susceptible cats. During the development of the disease, FIC is characterized by the presence of recurrent clinical signs - periuria, hematuria, dysuria, strangury, polaquiuria, anuria, anorexia, hyporexia, emesis, apathy, diarrhea, isolation, excessive licking in the perineal region and caudal abdomen , as well as the removal of tail hairs. The diagnosis is made through anamnesis, clinical signs and detailed investigation through laboratorial and imaging exams that allow the exclusion of other causes of LUTD. The treatment aims to reduce the severity of clinical signs and increase the interval between the occurrence of clinical conditions and, due to its multifactor pathophysiology, it is interesting to perform a multimodal treatment. Thus, the therapy is variable according to the clinical signs presented by the patient aiming, mainly, the reestablishment of the urinary flow and analgesia. In addition, better adaptations to animal management should be made such as the adoption of measures that increase water intake and minimize stressors that may contribute to recurrence of the clinical picture.
