Abstract:

Healthy male goats (n=20); aged from 8 months to 4 years and weighing from 15 to 25 kg were divided into four equal groups. Group A (Control animals), group B (animals operated for induction of urine retention via urethral legation), group C (animals operated for induction of urine retention via bilateral ureteral legation) and group D (animals operated for induction of urine retention via unilateral ureteral legation). Clinical observations, blood urea and creatinine analysis and ultrasonographic, radiographic and computed tomography (CT) examinations were performed for each group before and after induction of urine retention. Ultrasonographically, Hydronephrosis was classified into functional dilatation (recorded slightly in the opposite non legated kidney in case of unilateral ureteral legation), dilatation with stasis (as a result of urine stasis), mild hydronephrosis (as result of back pressure of the urine on renal parenchyma) and severe-advanced hydronephrosis (due to advanced continuous back pressure over long period). The four stages were recorded in case of unilateral ureteral legation while in cases of urethral and bilateral ureteral legation severe advanced hydronephrosis wasn’t recorded. It was found that, urine retention in group B and C was very dangerous which characterized by rapidly onset and seriously developed renal and blood alterations with to threat the animal life. The present study provide Thorough knowledge of the cross sectional anatomy aided to achieve accurate interpretation of ultrasonography and CT, hence establish reference standards for normal urinary tract organ's size, position and structure and compare it with the abnormal conditions.
