Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The field of veterinary nephrology and urology, focusing on the urinary disorders of dogs and cats, is advancing rapidly owing to innovations in diagnosis, treatment, and management strategies. In this Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Canine and Feline Nephrology and Urology”, we highlight these significant advancements and their impact on the health-related outcomes for these animals.

In this Special Issue, we welcome contributions that shed light on various aspects of urology in animals, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • The etiology and pathogenesis of nephrological and urological disorders.
  • Advances in diagnostic imaging modalities such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in nephrological and urological diseases.
  • The application of various therapeutic approaches for the management of nephrological and urological conditions in dogs and cats.
  • The management of chronic nephrological and urological conditions.

This Special Issue provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research and clinical developments in the field. By highlighting emerging trends, diagnostic tools, and therapeutic strategies, this collection aims to support veterinary professionals in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of nephrological and urological disorders in companion animals, ultimately enhancing patient care and outcomes. We aim to highlight these significant advancements and their impact on health-related outcomes for these animals.

We welcome submissions in the form of original research articles, reviews, brief communications, and case reports. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline and will undergo peer review upon receipt.

We look forward to your contributions to this important and evolving field of research.

Prof. Dr. Joseph Bartges
Guest Editor
