Kidney failure is one of the most common cases. It means that the kidneys are no longer able to function or fulfill their functions. The most prominent indicator of this disease is the increase in levels of certain harmful substances such as creatinine and urea in blood values of the catheter.
If your kitten's blood creatinine is high in creatinine, it will also tell you about the cause of kidney failure. Your vet can detect the underlying cause of kidney failure in the examination. If the primary is primary, kidney failure is directly related to the kidney, but secondary (secondary) means kidney failure due to a different disease in your kit.
Especially 7 years old and it is a common condition in kedes. However, younger age cats have also been observed to experience this disease. When you are diagnosed with kidney failure in your cat, it means you have lost half of your kidneys. For this reason, it is very useful to repeat your friends' blood tests at certain periods before coming to the last step. These surveillance can be repeated once in a year, twice a year in 7 year old and older cats, and 7 years and under in older cats.

Mouth infections and injuries
Urinary tract problems (urinary tract infections, crystallization, stone)
Low and inadequate fluid consumption
Kidney hardening
Diabetes (diabetes)
Excessive salt consumption
Excessive protein nutrition
High blood pressure problem
Chemical poisoning
Drug poisoning
Damage to the kidney after any impact on the kidney
Congenital kidney diseases
Disorders in the immune system
What are the symptoms of kidney failure in cats?
In the cat, you can easily observe some symptoms of kidney failure in the cat's living environment.
Normal water consumption: The most obvious indication of this disease is that your kitten starts to consume more water than usual. This condition is called polydipsia, which means excessive thirst. When you see this kind of situation in your kittens, you should measure the daily water consumption and observe its variability.
Abnormal urination: This is linked to polydipsia. Your cat will urinate more often due to over-consumption of water. It is called polyuria.
Do not go out of your way: If your cat is not going to get out of bed, this is a very urgent situation. In cases of acute renal insufficiency, no urination can be seen in the cat. This is called an anu-ri and there are two main reasons. First, your kitten may have had a blockage in the urinary tract. The other is antifreeze poisoning.
Antifreeze poisoning is not a viable option for a cat that is looked after in the home environment. This is more of a question that can be observed in street cats. Antifreeze is a substance that can be easily eaten by street dogs because the water is very similar to the image and because it is delicious by animals.
Loss of appetite: Dehydration due to renal insufficiency, resulting in electrolyte imbalance and increased toxins in the body can cause loss of appetite in the cat.
Weight Loss: Weight loss associated with loss of appetite can also be observed. Another reason for this is the loss of protein during the study of the kidneys, which try to clear intense toxins in the body.
Weakness in the bone structure: As the phosphorus and calcium balance in the body deteriorate, weakening of the bones may occur. Because of this reason, your cat can easily become out of reach even the ascension.
Fatigue: Your cat may become sluggish due to loss of appetite, weight loss and dehydration. Disruption of the electrolytic balance caused by lack of potassium in the body also causes fatigue.
Vomiting: The biggest cause of this is the increase in toxins in the body. Vomiting causes more potassium loss, ie, imbalance and dehydration of the electrolytes. This further triggers the statement we discussed in previous articles.
Sara (epilepsy) episodes: Your brain is negatively affected by the increased amount of urea in your body and these toxins cause changes in your neurological condition. For this reason epileptic attacks can be seen.
Deterioration of hair quality: The quality of feathers of a cat that looks like kidney failure falls, it gets matt and unhealthy image. Itching and hair loss may also occur due to urea accumulation at the bottom. The pussy can sometimes break their hair with their teeth because of itching.
Gum injuries: Gingivitis appears to be caused by rising urea. Tooth cheeks can be seen on the cheeks, lip edges and tongue.
High Blood Pressure - Blindness: High blood pressure problems can also be seen in cats, especially those with chronic kidney failure. One of the biggest effects of hypertension is blindness, which is blindness.
What are the races of cats prone to kidney disease?
Increased toxins and cysts are the main reason for kidney failure in early age. It usually occurs as acute renal failure. Elderly cats are more likely to have chronic renal failure (CRF).
Cat breeds prone to chronic renal failure; Russian Blue, Siam, Iran (Persian), Maine Coon, Abyssinian Cat, Birman Cat.
Parameters and Meaning of Blood Test for Renal Failure:
Ast: liver, muscle and heart destruction.
Bottom: It shows the liver problem but it does not give clear information about its cause.
Alp: The liver problem.
This: Infections in the kidney and urinary tract.
Crea and phos: refers to kidney functions.
Chol: Hyperthyroid is related to heart and liver functions.
Amy and Lip: They express pancreas problems.
Hct and Hgb: It shows the blood quality and the amount of red blood cells in the blood.
Glu: Provides information about liver, blood sugar and pancreas.
How is the Treatment of Kidney Failure in the Kidneys?
Acute Renal Failure: In urgent and aggressive treatment is needed to prevent death in acute renal failure, called ARF. In some cases ARF should be dialyzed to dispose of waste materials in the body. In the event of duct clogging, immediate action should be taken. If not, increased potassium may interfere with blood and this can trigger death by triggering the heart. First, the obstruction in the urinary tract should be removed (if necessary, the animal must be inserted into the catheter) and then fluid therapy should be started. In addition, to balance calorie needs and to balance the protein ratio, nutritional regimes should be established and calorie balance established. This is a very important step because the excess of protein will cause the urine (the disease that occurs when the urine is not taken from the urine).
Chronic Renal Failure: Chronic renal failure, the so-called CRF, is the most common occurrence. If the diagnosis can not be made early in elderly animals with different diseases, the treatment process can be very difficult. CRF patients must always be able to reach fresh and clean water. The water container should be filled with fresh water at least 3 times a day. So you can encourage the municipal to drink fresh water. In addition, the veterinary approval of the aromatic waters can be made. Along with this, a suitable environment must be prepared to remove the stress and it must be treated very sensitively. The most important point in feeding is the use of high quality proteins in low quantities. The amount of protein that is kept low will reduce the formation of waste materials and will alleviate the burden while the kidneys are working to create these waste materials from the body.
