Denudation of the urinary bladder mucosa in the cat by formaldehyde

R Pust et al. Urol Res. .

Abstract

Chemical Stripping of the urinary bladder mucosa was studied in 38 cats using 5 to 25% formaldehyde solutions. The contact time varied from 1 to 20 min. With a 20% solution and contact time of 1 min, total denudation was possible without necrosis of subepithelial layers. In such cases, complete reepithelialisation and normal bladder dynamics were seen within 3-4 weeks after formaldehyde instillation. Signs of formaldehyde intoxication due to vesical resorption were not observed.
