Chronic kidney disease in cats
The remaining renal corpuscles are overloaded, as they have to assume the function of the damaged renal corpuscles. As a result, the pressure in the renal corpuscles increases and larger molecules, such as proteins, pass into urine. This leads to reactions in the kidneys, which are associated with further damage to the kidney tissue.
The body is unfortunately incapable of repairing damaged kidneys. Therefore, chronic kidney disease is untreatable and your cat must receive lifelong treatment. However, there are modern and effective therapies that can increase your cat’s quality of life and prolong their life.
