A diet providing less than 20 mg of magnesium per 100 kcal that maintains urine pH near 6.0 3 to 5 hours after eating, or a diet providing this amount fo magnesium (see Table 2) with 1 gm of ammonium chloride or 1.5 gm of dl-methionine added daily, should be fed for 1 to 3 months to dissolve struvite uroliths (see Fig. 1). The low-magnesium diet should be fed indefinitely to prevent recurrence, because struvite urolithiasis and all of its effects (hematuria, pollakiuria, and/or complete to partial obstruction to urinary excretion) recurs repeatedly in cats that have previously experienced the condition if they are returned to regular cat food. In contrast, if a diet low in magnesium is fed, recurrence is uncommon. For cats that have never been affected, feeding a low-magnesium ration is unnecessary. For all cats, the following measures are recommended: encourage exercise, allow frequent urination, prevent obesity, decrease confinement, keep the litter box clean, and always have palatable water readily available.

Urinary tract stones are a general term for stone disease in various parts of the urinary system and are common diseases of the urinary system. According to the location of the stone, it is divided into kidney stones, ureteral stones, bladder stones, urethra stones. Total urinary calculi occur less frequently, usually accompanied by severe clinical symptoms and difficult to treat. A 76-year-old man was admitted to hospital with repeated bladder stones for 7 years, repeated dysuria with frequent urination and dysuria for 2 months. After admission, the patient improved the relevant examination, and the patient was finally diagnosed with total urinary calculi combined with infection. After a series of orderly and effective treatments, especially the completion of the one-stage operation, the patient recovered smoothly and was discharged. Complicated whole-course urolithiasis is relatively rare and a single operation of total urinary calculi is feasible.
