| Abstract | Bolesti mokraćnog sustava u kunića, po učestalosti su odmah nakon bolesti zubi i bolesti probavnog sustava. U ovom radu prikazan je pregled kliničkih najznačajnijih bolesti mokraćnog sustava u kunića. Najučestalije bolesti gornjeg mokraćnog sustava su infekcije parazitom Encephalitozoon cuniculi, kalcifikacije bubrega, akutnog i kroničnog zatajenja bubrega dok bolesti donjeg mokraćnog sustava su urolitijaza i upala mokraćnog mjehura.
Čimbenici koji utječu na razvoj bolesti mokraćnog sustava su prvenstveno neuravnotežena prehrana, zatim oslabljena funkcija bubrega, mehanička opstrukcija urinarnog trakta, tumori, genetska predispozicija, infekcije, dob, spol, pretilost i neaktivnost. Klinička slika može varirati od asimptomatske do jakih kliničkih znakova, ali ovisi i o tome koji je dio mokraćnog sustava zahvaćen. Jedan od glavnih simptoma bit će poliurija i polidipsija, zatim oligurija, inkontinencija, povremena hematurija, depresija, anoreksija, bol i glasno škrgutanje zubi. Klinička dijagnostika treba uključivati temeljitu anamnezu, kliničke znakove, klinički pregled, laboratorijske nalaze krvi i urina, radiološki i ultrazvučni pregled. Liječenje bolesti mokraćnoga sustava u kunića ovisit će o uzroku bolesti, koji dio je mokraćnoga sustava zahvaćen i općem stanju kunića. Liječenje redovito uključuje i potpornu terapiju rehidracije i uravnotežene prehrane. |
| Abstract (english) | Urinary tract diseases are some of the most common diseases in rabbits, immediately after dental and digestive diseases. This thesis shows the overview of the clinically most significant diseases of the urinary tract in rabbits. The most frequent diseases of the upper urinary tract are infections by the parasite Encephalitozoon cuniculi, kidney calcifications and acute and chronic kidney failure, while diseases of the lower urinary tract include urolithiasis and bladder infection.
Factors affecting the development of the urinary tract diseases are primarily unbalanced diet, followed by impaired kidney function, mechanical obstruction of the urinary tract, tumors, genetic predisposition, infections, age, sex, obesity and inactivity. The clinical presentation can vary from asymptomatic to severe symptoms and is dependent on which part of the urinary tract is affected. The main symptoms are polyuria and polydipsia, followed by oliguria, incontinence, intermittent hematuria, depression, anorexia, pain and loud gnashing of teeth. Clinical diagnostics should include a thorough medical history, clinical signs, clinical examination, laboratory tests of blood and urine, radiological and ultrasound examination. Treatment of urinary tract diseases will depend on the cause of the disease, which part of the urinary tract is affected and the general condition of the rabbit. Treatment regularly includes supportive therapy for rehydration and a balanced diet |
