If your dog has symptoms such as being thirsty, urinating frequently, and drinking water violently, the owner should be careful. It may be a precursor to the dog’s kidney failure. Because the dog cannot speak, he must rely on him when he is not feeling well. Master observes. Many diseases may have symptoms in the early stages. If the owner is not careful, it is easy to miss the best time for treatment.

As far as animals are concerned, the "kidney" is a very important organ. Its main function is to excrete waste and regulate water and electrolytes. After we eat food, various organs in the body will begin to decompose the food, then digest and absorb it. When these nutrients are sent to each cell for use, the cells themselves will produce some waste. When these waste After the waste is processed by the liver, it will be sent to the kidneys, and then these wastes will be excreted from the body through the kidneys. This is the most important function of the kidneys for the human body.

In addition to eliminating waste, the kidneys of course also have some other functions, such as maintaining the acidity and alkalinity of the blood, the balance of ions, the balance of osmotic pressure, etc. These are the functions of the kidney's spheroids and renal tubules. As for endocrine, the kidneys also shoulder the important responsibility of producing erythroblast hormones, because the body's balance and the excretion of toxins all depend on it.

Simply put, renal failure means that the kidneys lose the above functions. When the kidneys lose their function, the first problem is the inability to excrete toxins. Then the toxins will begin to accumulate. When the toxins accumulate to a certain stage, Your body will start to show some symptoms. Such as loss of appetite, lack of energy, vomiting, or even bloody stools, etc. In addition, some urinary system problems may also begin, such as being prone to thirst and urination, but sometimes symptoms of anuria or oliguria may occur.

When a dog is suspected of suffering from renal failure, doctors usually take a blood test to check the urea ammonia (BUN) value in the blood. Generally speaking, the normal urea ammonia value is usually below 30. The higher the urea ammonia value, the It means that the function of the kidneys in excreting toxins is getting worse; when toxins accumulate in the body, something called CREATININE is produced, which is a substance metabolized by muscles, so it is also called "creatine". The normal function of creatine The BUN value and creatine value are usually below two, so when the test results, BUN value and creatine value exceed the normal standard, it almost means that you have suffered from renal failure, and the more it exceeds, the more dangerous it is.

Treatment methods for kidney failure

As for the treatment of renal failure, traditional methods usually use intravenous injection to cure animals suffering from renal failure. For animals in the early stages of the disease, traditional therapy is usually sufficient.
