Diagnosis and treatment of chronic renal failure in cats
The only sure way to determine chronic renal failure in cats is to take the cat to a veterinary hospital for examination. Check whether the urine is dilute - this means the kidneys are not processing metabolites; checking the blood can show the amount of creatinine, urea nitrogen and other components in the bleeding. A rise in creatinine to a certain level is a sign of loss of kidney function. The basic theory of treatment of chronic renal failure in cats is to control the amount of metabolites in the kidneys and reduce them to a level where the remaining renal elements can bear the load. This requires a combination of diet, medication, and diuretic treatment.
Why do cats suffer from chronic renal failure:
1. Chronic renal failure in cats is related to their long-term eating habits. An acidic diet and hypokalemia can cause chronic renal failure. Kidney failure.
2. Chronic renal failure in cats may be related to genetic factors (congenital renal dysplasia), age, and living environment.
3. The occurrence of some diseases may also cause chronic renal failure in cats, such as high blood pressure, dental disease, etc.
