Hyperurikosuri
Also known as: Uratsten
Hereditary
En arvelig forstyrrelse af urinsyrehåndteringen, der giver højt urin-urinsyre og disposition for urat-blære- og nyresten. Den skyldes en mutation i SLC2A9-genet og er det faste træk hos alle dalmatinere, også set hos bulldogge, sort russisk terrier og andre. Ramte hunde er disponerede for tilbagevendende uraturolithiasis.
