Evaluation of Feeding Regimes Used for Cats Suffering from Renal Failure
Absztrakt
Veterinary prescription feed for patients diagnosed with renal failure has shown to be an
effective way of treating the symptoms associated with chronic kidney disease. Producers of
such diets market their diets as a way of prolonging life by slowing down the progression of
the break-down of the kidneys. Cats diagnosed with renal failure have an already increased
level of blood parameters such as SDMA, creatinine, urea or all three indicators. The level of
nutrients used in the formulation of renal diets can have beneficial implications on these
mentioned blood parameters. This study addresses two different diets, Diet 1 and Diet 2, both
of which are produced by two competing veterinary prescription manufacturers.
