Determinación de la prevalenciasedimento urinario en caninos mediante ecografía y técnicas clínicas complementarias en la ciudad de Guaranda

The objective of this work was to analyze ultrasound and complementary techniques (urinalysis) as a diagnostic method to determine urinary sediment, was performed in the veterinary clinic of the STATE UNIVERSITY OF BOLIVAR, in which it was used 50 patients canines of different race, sex, age, of whom bladder ultrasounds were performed, and urine samples were taken by means of cistocentesis.The Research shows that ultrasound and complementary clinical techniques (urinalysis) are different diagnostic methods to determine urinary sediment, since there are radiopaque crystals that prevent ultrasound visualization, one was determined sensitivity 92% which refers to the sensitive when detecting positive patients with the microscopy technique the result in specificity indicate 61% effective in identifying patients without urinary sediment. With the microscopy technique we can accurately know the type of sediment that affects the health of the dogs, unlike the ultrasound that can identify the existence or absence of sediment, the types of sediment observed through the microscope in the investigation as epithelial cells 48%, struvite 12%, calcium oxalate 12%, red blood cells 20%, renal cells 16%, amorphous crystals 12%, and hyaline cylinders with 12%. To identify the presence of sediment or some urinary tract disease we must perform complete tests such as ultrasound accompanied by urianalysis where some type of abnormality in the bladder is physically observed due to its size or thickness in the walls and also the chemical changes when presenting some kind of illness.
