Stay Curious to Detect Renal Disease Before it Happens

For optimum feline renal health, detect, protect, and connect

Black and white cat

For Cats With Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Early Diagnosis is Key

Make early renal screening a part of your regular feline patient plan. Because there are no clear first signs of kidney disease, an early check-up and regular follow-ups are the only way to diagnose and effectively manage chronic kidney disease along with a specially adapted nutritional solution.

Your early diagnosis, together with appropriate management and nutrition, can help maintain a pet's quality of life.

PROGRESSION OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE

CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE IN CATS

The earlier Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is detected, the more time you have for intervention. CKD can be diagnosed at any age, but typically, clinical signs may not become apparent until the kidneys have lost 75% of their function.1 By encouraging annual or semi-annual examinations including early predictive renal screening, veterinarians can diagnose CKD at an earlier stage and support their patient's renal health by recommending targeted nutrition.

EARLY DETECTION IS CRITICAL

The earlier CKD is diagnosed, the more time you have for intervention.

For many cats, diagnosis occurs only after the onset of symptoms becomes visible to the owner when kidneys have lost more than 75% of their function.

WHY IS NUTRITIONAL MANAGEMENT IMPORTANT?

Goals of Dietary Management

1. LIMIT PHOSPHORUS

  • Helps reduce risk of toxic build-up of high phosphorus levels in the blood
  • Helps prevent development of secondary hyperparathyroidism

2. MAXIMIZE ENERGY DENSITY

  • Helps provide adequate calories for cats who have reduced food intake
  • Reduces risk of weakness, depression and lethargy

3. IMPROVE AND MAINTAIN BODY CONDITION

  • Helps reduce risk of cats becoming emaciated and cachectic

4. BALANCE PROTEIN LEVEL

  • Assists in limiting the production of uremic toxins

5. HELP MAINTAIN HEALTHY IMMUNE SYSTEM AND HELP REDUCE INFLAMMATION

  • Provides antioxidant blend
  • Provides omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil to help reduce inflammation
