12 year old MN Shih Tzu. Has always been PU/PD. ALP in the 500’s. Ultrasound showed normal sized adrenal glands, enlarged liver with a couple of hypoechoic nodules. Wondering if you would call this a diverticulum off of the urinary bladder? Concerns about such a structure? Suspect it could make the patient more susceptible to UTI’s?
Comments
At that age most likely an incidental finding but can predispose to recurrent UTI as urine pooling within the diverticulum can occur. If there is chronic UTI, then surgery should be considered.
Thank you!
