Abstract

Results of experimental and clinical investigations have confirmed the importance of dietary modifications in medical protocols designed to promote dissolution and prevention of some kinds of uroliths. Change in the composition of dietary ingredients is one example of a method to reduce the quantity of lithogenic crystalloids in urine. The current study shows evidence of the positive effects of one of the commercial therapeutic foods on improvement of struvite urolithiasis, in different cases of cats and dogs performed at Kiev University, Ukraine.
