Overview

Case highlights the diagnostic impact of urine sediment examination for managing cystitis in horses, suggesting effective noninvasive interventions.

Key Points

  • This study evaluates the diagnostic benefits of serial urine sediment examinations in a horse with crystalluria-associated cystitis.
  • Case study of a 4-year-old Japanese Sport Horse with recurrent haematuria and calcium carbonate crystalluria.
  • Dietary management included discontinuation of calcium supplementation and increased salt intake to encourage hydration.
  • Ultrasonography and urine cultures were conducted to assess bladder condition and identify pathogens.
  • Reduction in crystal size and change in morphology after dietary changes, with eventual complete resolution of haematuria.
  • Ultrasonography findings included accumulation of sand-like material and bladder wall thickening.
  • No recurrence of symptoms was observed over 3 years.
