  • Title: Complementary and integrative therapies for lower urinary tract diseases.
    Author: Raditic DM.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract; 2015 Jul; 45(4):857-78. PubMed ID: 25838155.
    Abstract:
    Consumer use of integrative health care is growing, but evidence-based research on its efficacy is limited. Research of veterinary lower urinary tract diseases could be translated to human medicine because veterinary patients are valuable translational models for human urinary tract infection and urolithiasis. An overview of complementary therapies for lower urinary tract disease includes cranberry supplements, mannose, oral probiotics, acupuncture, methionine, herbs, or herbal preparations. Therapies evaluated in dogs and cats, in vitro canine cells, and other relevant species, in vivo and in vitro, are presented for their potential use as integrative therapies for veterinary patients and/or translational research.
