A conversation with Cat the Vet: What’s new in chronic Kidney Disease?
Join our director and Internal Medicine Specialist, Scott Kilpatrick, as he discusses chronic kidney disease (CKD) in feline patients. In this FREE webinar hosted by Hills Pet UK & Ireland, Scott Kilpatrick and Cat Henstridge delve into the complexities of CKD, exploring diagnosis, treatment options, and management strategies for this common condition in cats. They will also discuss key insights, including:
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an altered intestinal microbiome (dysbiosis), resulting in the production of gut-derived uremic toxins that are harmful to the kidneys and have been associated with CKD progression.
- Even without obvious clinical signs in the early stages of CKD in cats and dogs, harmful uremic toxins are present.
- Controlling the amounts of high-quality/highly digestible dietary protein decreases uremic toxins compared to feeding higher protein in early CKD.
- Feeding a therapeutic renal food (Prescription Diet k/d with ActivBiome+ Kidney Defense) that contains prebiotics and betaine significantly decreases gut-derived uremic toxins and provides other benefits.”
