Ultrasonographic risk factors for reobstruction have not been previously reported. Purposes of this retrospective cross\u2010sectional study were to describe urinary tract ultrasound findings in cats following acute urethral obstruction and determine whether ultrasound findings were associated with reobstruction. Inclusion criteria were a physical examination and history consistent with urethral obstruction, an abdominal ultrasound including a full evaluation of the urinary system within 24 h of hospitalization, and no cystocentesis prior to ultrasound examination. Medical records for included cats were reviewed and presence of azotemia, hyperkalemia, positive urine culture, and duration of hospitalization were recorded. For medically treated cats with available outcome data, presence of reobstruction was also recorded. Ultrasound images were reviewed and urinary tract characteristics were recorded. A total of 87 cats met inclusion criteria. Common ultrasound findings for the bladder included echogenic urine sediment, bladder wall thickening, pericystic effusion, hyperechoic pericystic fat, and increased urinary echoes; and for the kidneys\/ureters included pyelectasia, renomegaly, perirenal effusion, hyperechoic perirenal fat, and ureteral dilation. Six\u2010month postdischarge outcomes were available for 61 medically treated cats and 21 of these cats had reobstruction. No findings were associated with an increased risk of reobstruction. Ultrasonographic perirenal effusion was associated with severe hyperkalemia (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.009, relative risk 5.75, 95% confidence interval [1.54\u201321.51]). Findings supported the use of ultrasound as an adjunct for treatment planning in cats presented with urethral obstruction but not as a method for predicting risk of reobstruction.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/vru.12259","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,8]],"date-time":"2015-04-08T03:16:36Z","timestamp":1428462996000},"page":"439-447","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN ULTRASOUND AND CLINICAL FINDINGS IN 87 CATS WITH URETHRAL OBSTRUCTION"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"Jonathan R.","family":"Nevins","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Radiology, Department of Clinical Studies, School of Veterinary Medicine University of Pennsylvania 3900 Delancey Street Philadelphia PA 19104 USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wilfried","family":"Mai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Radiology, Department of Clinical Studies, School of Veterinary Medicine University of Pennsylvania 3900 Delancey Street Philadelphia PA 19104 USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily","family":"Thomas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Emergency and Critical Care, Department of Clinical Studies, School of Veterinary Medicine University of Pennsylvania 3900 Delancey Street Philadelphia PA 19104 USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"211","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.1991.199.02.211","article-title":"Clinical evaluation of cats with lower urinary tract disease","volume":"199","author":"Kruger JM","year":"1991","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.2002.221.502"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfms.2007.06.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.2005.tb00288.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1939-1676.1996.tb02021.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfms.2010.10.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfms.2011.08.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1476-4431.2012.00733.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1534-6935.2003.00100.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.243.8.1140"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jvim.12108"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1740-8261.2007.00300.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_1","first-page":"2037","volume-title":"Textbook of veterinary internal medicine","author":"Ettinger SJ","year":"2010"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"449","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.1984.184.04.449","article-title":"Results of analyses and bacterial cultures of urine specimens obtained from clinically normal cats by three methods","volume":"184","author":"Lees GE","year":"1984","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612X13477414"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vru.12100"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_18_1","first-page":"365","volume-title":"Atlas of small animal ultrasonography","author":"Penninck D","year":"2008"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_19_1","first-page":"210","volume-title":"Practical veterinary ultrasound","author":"Cartee RE","year":"1995"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1740-8261.2010.01729.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"596","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.1987.48.04.596","article-title":"Feline renal ultrasonography: quantitative analyses of imaged anatomy","volume":"48","author":"Walter PA","year":"1987","journal-title":"Am J Vet Res"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"600","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.1987.48.04.600","article-title":"Renal ultrasonography in healthy cats","volume":"48","author":"Walter PA","year":"1987","journal-title":"Am J Vet Res"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_23_1","first-page":"339","volume-title":"Atlas of small animal ultrasonography","author":"Penninck D","year":"2008"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfms.2011.02.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_25_1","first-page":"387","article-title":"Ultrasonographic study of feline lower urinary tract diseases: 32 cases","volume":"45","author":"Voros K","year":"1997","journal-title":"Acta Vet.
