Abstract

Urinalysis is a rapid, non‐invasive method used to obtain diagnostic information on primates. While several studies have investigated dipstick and specific gravity values in chimpanzees, urine sediment analysis is often excluded. Crystalluria, observed during urine sediment analysis, can be benign or indicate renal pathologies.

一个圈养黑猩猩(类人猿)群体的钙盐结晶尿

背景尿液分析是一种快速、无创的方法，用于获取灵长类动物的诊断信息。虽然有几项研究调查了黑猩猩的试纸和比重值，但尿液沉积物分析往往被排除在外。在尿液沉淀物分析过程中观察到的结晶尿可能是良性的或表明肾脏病变。方法在17年的时间里，总共分析了665份来自保护区黑猩猩的尿液样本 pH、比重、收集时间和结晶的月份。结果和结论本研究中，23.7%的个体的9.0%的样本中出现钙盐结晶。有结晶的样本的尿液pH值和比重明显高于无结晶的样本，而两组的采集时间没有差异。虽然饮食是这一人群中最有可能导致结晶症的原因，但几种药物也可能导致尿液结晶。有必要进一步探索钙盐结晶在黑猩猩中的意义。
