About this episode
Can radiolucent stones really be seen on radiographs? Discover the surprising answer as we unpack the world of cysteine and urate cystoliths in dogs with our guests, Drs. Rachel Williams and Camille Andrews. Rachel shares groundbreaking insights from her study at a high-volume academic institution, challenging long-held beliefs about the detectability of these stones. Camille adds depth to the conversation by highlighting the importance of a holistic clinical picture, including breed, sex, and urinalysis findings, in predicting stone types and formulating effective treatment plans.
This episode examines the evolving landscape of empirical treatment recommendations for cystine and urate cystoliths. The conversation further expands to discuss less invasive stone identification methods, strategies to manage recurrent calcium oxalate stones, and the potential of artificial intelligence in predicting urolith types.
