Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The urinary system is central to animal health, impacting various physiological processes and susceptibly to various pathological conditions. Understanding the anatomy and physiology of the urinary system across different species provides critical insights that enhance our ability to effectively diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases. This Special Issue of Animals aims to compile a comprehensive collection of articles that provide new insights into the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the urinary system across various animal species. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, the following:
- Innovative research on the anatomical structures and physiological mechanisms of the urinary system across various animal species.
- Studies on the pathogenesis and progression of urinary diseases in domestic and wild animals.
- Advances in diagnostic techniques for detecting urinary system disorders in animals.
- Treatment and management strategies for common and complex urinary diseases.
- Pathophysiology of urinary disorders in a range of animals, from pets to livestock to wildlife.
- Preventative healthcare measures.
- Nutrition of animals with renal disease.
- Inflammatory disease and cancer.
- Hereditary and congenital diseases.
- Case studies and clinical reports on innovative treatments or new insights into urinary system diseases.
Through this Special Issue, we aim to provide veterinarians and researchers with the latest insights and developments, enhancing theoretical knowledge and practical application.
This Special Issue is devoted to all themes related to urinary system in companions, livestock, and wildlife in the form of reviews, original research manuscripts, short communications of preliminary but significant results, reviews, and case reports.
