RenalTO MANAGE CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE Low Na (0.21%) |
Indication
PRO-VET RENAL has been developed for adult cats with chronic renal failure and to provide sufficient nutrients to maintain body functions.
By cats, chronic renal failure (CRF) is a main cause of death. CRF occurs in 30% of cats aged over 12 years. The progression of CRF can be diminished and thus the survival of the patient can be extended, but the condition cannot be cured. There is now a strong evidence that appropriate dietary management will enhance the survival of cats with CRF. Phosphorus restriction leads to retardation of the loss of kidney function (Beynen, 2006). Apart from phosphorus restriction, the characteristics of a dietetic food for feline kidney patients are protein restriction, low sodium content, high potassium content, a moderately basic urinary pH and a high level of eicosapentaenoic acid. Clearly, restriction of essential nutrients may not cause a deficiency and the nutrient supply should be sufficient to allow normal body functions.
An appropriate renal diet can only delay the progression of the loss of nephrons and increase survival time. Among commercially available renal diets for cats there are great differences in efficacy. The anticipated efficacy of PRO-VET RENAL , which is based on its ideal composition, may be equivalent to an average survival time after diagnosis of about 30 months. It is likely, that PRO-VET RENAL will be very effective in reducing the risk of developing CRF by healthy cats. The risk of chronic renal failure CRF has decreased by extra vitamin E, high EPA-level and particularly low level of phosphorus.
