In order to determine the prevalence of crystals in urine and the risk factors in felines, a total of 61 cats were sampled, recollecting data such as age, sex, type of diet, reproductive status and body condition. Urine samples were taken by cystocentesis, puncturing the bladder under ultrasound guidance. These samples were later centrifuged to analyze the sediment microscopically. The results were analyzed using Fisher's exact test and descriptive statistics. It was possible to determine that the prevalence of crystalluria was 49.18%; and the most common crystals were struvite, calcium carbonate and bilirubin, with a percentage of 63.3%, 53.3% and 26.7%, respectively. By using Fisher's exact test, statistical significance could be found for the variable “sex”, since males were more predisposed to present crystals in urine; Similarly, the “body condition” variable was also statistically significant, determining that overweight cats were more likely to have crystalluria. It was possible to conclude that male cats with a larger body condition are the ones that most often present crystalluria.
