2. Chronic kidney disease in cats - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_kidney_disease_in_cats

   Calcitriol can also be used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism, but only if parathyroid hormone and calcium levels are monitored. [32] For cats in the early stages with normal blood phosphate levels, a less phosphate-reduced diet ("Senior", "Early-Renal" or a mixture of kidney and normal food) is usually sufficient. [38]

3. Hypercalcaemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercalcaemia

   Household pets such as dogs and cats are found to develop hypercalcemia. It is less common in cats, and many feline cases are idiopathic. [29] In dogs, lymphosarcoma, Addison's disease, primary hyperparathyroidism, and chronic kidney failure are the main causes of hypercalcemia, but there are also environmental causes usually unique to indoor ...

4. Familial renal disease in animals - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Familial_renal_disease_in...

   Renal dysplasia is a type of familial kidney disease characterized by abnormal cellular differentiation of kidney tissue. Dogs and cats with kidney disease caused by these diseases have the typical symptoms of kidney failure, including weight loss, loss of appetite, depression, and increased water consumption and urination. [1]

5. Chronic kidney disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_kidney_disease

   A glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 is considered normal without chronic kidney disease if there is no kidney damage present. Kidney damage is defined as signs of damage seen in blood, urine, or imaging studies which include lab albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) ≥ 30. [62]

6. Assessment of kidney function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assessment_of_kidney_function

   One of the measures of kidney function is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Other tests that can assess the function of the kidneys include assessment of electrolyte levels such as potassium and phosphate, assessment of acid-base status by the measurement of bicarbonate levels from a vein, and assessment of the full blood count for anaemia.

7. Renal glycosuria - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_glycosuria

   Renal glycosuria is a rare condition in which the simple sugar glucose is excreted in the urine [1] despite normal or low blood glucose levels. With normal kidney (renal) function, glucose is excreted in the urine only when there are abnormally elevated levels of glucose in the blood.

8. Feline hyperthyroidism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_hyperthyroidism

   Following a test for blood serum thyroxine levels thyrotropin-releasing hormone can be administered to cats intravenously and after 4 hours another blood test can be taken to measure thyroxine serum levels. If the thyroxine levels have increased this indicates the cat is euthyroid but if levels remain stagnant it suggests hyperthyroidism.

9. Renal physiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_physiology

   This illustration demonstrates the normal kidney physiology, including the Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT), Loop of Henle, and Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT). It also includes illustrations showing where some types of diuretics act, and what they do. Renal physiology (Latin renes, "kidneys") is the study of the physiology of the kidney.
