Abstract
in English, French

This study reports a retrospective evaluation of epidemiological data from cystine stones of dogs submitted to the Urinary Stone Analysis Center Bonn, Germany, over a period of 35 years. Of the 20 316 uroliths submitted from 1979 to 2013, 1760 were cystine stones. In total, 109 breeds were affected with 16 breeds having an odds ratio > 1.0. Most of the cystine uroliths were retrieved from male dogs, with only 19 female dogs (1.1%) being affected. Percentage of submitted cystine stones amongst all stones decreased significantly over 35 years from 38.9% to 4.4%.

Urolithiase de cystine canine : compte rendu de 1760 soumissions pendant 35 ans (1979–2013). Cette étude présente un rapport sur une évaluation rétrospective des données épidémiologiques provenant des calculs de cystine de chiens soumis à l’Urinary Stone Analysis Center, à Bonn, en Allemagne, pendant une période de 35 ans. Parmi les 20 316 urolithes soumis de 1979 à 2013, 1760 étaient des calculs de cystine. Au total, 109 races ont été touchées et 16 races avaient un rapport de cote > 1,0. La plupart des urolithes de cystine provenaient de chiens, et seulement 19 chiennes (1,1 %) étaient affectées. Le pourcentage des calculs de cystine soumis parmi tous les calculs a significativement baissé au cours des 35 années, passant de 38,9 % à 4,4 %.(Traduit par Isabelle Vallières).
