When your cat is diagnosed withkidney disease, diet becomes a crucial part of managing their health. Cats with kidney issues need food that islow in phosphorus,moderate in protein, and high inmoistureto support kidney function and reduce the strain on their kidneys. While prescription diets are ...
The sequential failure of organ systems apparently unrelated to the site of the initial insult has been correlated with altered plasma cytokine levels observed in sepsis [12, 45, 57]. Because ARF secondary to ischemic and/or nephrotoxic insults arises from ATN, predominantly to renal proximal ...
Robert W Schrier, Melissa A Cadnapaphornchai, in Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2003 Impaired urinary concentrating capacity occurs in both acute and chronic renal failure. This concentrating defect does not respond to AVP, therefore defining an NDI state. In a renal artery cla...
Since inflammation appears to be present at all stages of CKD in cats, the immunomodulatory actions of MSCs are appealing as an alternative means of suppressing intrarenal inflammation long term and with fewer side effects than with conventional anti-inflammatory drugs. In the majority of experimentall...
“Some dogs with chronic heart failure might also have chronic renal failure and this might necessitate protein restriction,” Dr. Freeman says. “However, patients with cardiac disease alone should not be protein-restricted. Cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy might also have concurrent struvite uroli...

Any stimuli that lead to the loss of these cells can result in kidney damage and renal failure as time goes on (Barnett and Cummings, 2018). An indication of nephrotoxicity is often reflected by alterations in renal function, as evaluated through renal indicators like GFR, BUN, Scr, etc. ...
oracute cortical necrosis, is principally the result ofnephrotoxic injuryto the renal tubular epithelial cells or ischemia (Box 11-2). This was borne out by a study ofcatswith renal failure in which 18 of 32 cases were the result of nephrotoxin exposure and 4 of 32 cases were the result...
Two trials evaluated the response of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), a biomarker of congestive heart failure, to vitamin D treatment [35,38]. These results are summarized in Table 5. All trials were placebo-controlled with the exception of one open-label study where standard therapy was the ...
