Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Renal RF23 Cats
Chronic kidney failure (CRF).
Management of recurrences of urolithiasis that require urine alkalinization: urate and cystine uroliths.
Management of recurrences of calcium oxalate uroliths in cats with compromised renal function.
Hepatic encephalopathy.
Contraindications:
Gestation, lactation, growth.
Treatment duration:
Dietary treatment is prescribed for a minimum duration of 6 months, after this period it will be necessary to assess its continuation according to veterinary criteria. When kidney damage affects 3/4 of the kidneys, the disease is considered irreversible, maintaining a Renal Feline dietary therapy for life.
A restricted intake of phosphorus is essential to curb secondary hyperparathyroidism that causes worsening kidney failure.
Slow down cellular aging and strengthen immunity: the synergistic complex of antioxidants (vitamins E and C, taurine and lutein) limits the degradation of cellular DNA, strengthens immunity and slows down the effects of aging.
A supplement of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (especially EPA-DHA) helps reduce glomerular pressure and slows down the progressive decline in CRF.
An increase in uraemia can induce the formation of ulcers in the gastric and intestinal mucosa. Zeolite and FOS are involved in minimizing the risk of gastrointestinal disorders.
Data from the United States suggest that one in 3 cats over 12 years of age has some form of kidney failure (1). A recent study of apparently healthy, biochemically normal cats aged 9 years and older, recruited primarily from London first aid practices, has shown that over a 12-month interval, 1 in 3 cats had biochemical evidence of azotaemia (2).
