Cat (Gata in Greek) is 18 years old (even if she doesn’t look it!) and is currently hospitalized at our clinic with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Main symptoms of kidney disease (depending on the stage) include: vomiting, anorexia, polyuria, polydipsia, and, in advanced stages, anuria.
For a patient with kidney disease, it is important to carry out regular follow-up examinations at specific intervals: blood tests, urinalysis, and abdominal ultrasound. This allows proper staging of the disease.
A few days of intravenous fluid therapy is the most immediate treatment for a patient with kidney disease. Beyond that, a clinical (prescription) diet and dietary supplements are important to support kidney function!
