Kidney failure occurs when the number of corpuscles decreases, affecting kidney function. The blood is no longer filtered properly, resulting in additional loss of water, salts and nutrients. surviving kidney failure, often chronic kidney failure
SANIMED Renal dry cat food contains reduced levels of phosphorous, which slows the loss of renal corpuscles. In addition, this food contains a high concentration of fish oil, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, improving blood flow to the kidneys and lowering blood pressure. A high vitamin E content protects your cat’s kidney cells from further damage. In addition, the low protein content in this food reduces the production of urea (a by-product of the breakdown of protein). Finally, the low salt content helps control the blood pressure.
