Feeding the Kidney Patient: The Low Protein Diet Myth
Low Protein Diets? Really?
The Skinny On Kidney Disease
Kidney disease. This one way street eventually leads to death. We see it in our cats most often, much less in dogs, and I suspect far, far less in horses. People die of this regularly. Unlike the liver, with its massive capacity for regeneration, the kidney simply doesnāt allow for renewal. Once kidney failure (or, more politely, CKD chronic kidney disease) is diagnosed in your animal, it means 75% or more of the kidneysā capacity to filter wastes is now lost. Failure is the operant word, though. These two small organs are in failure and wonāt pull out of it.
