- SPECIFIC CKD Heart& Kidney Support has especially high levels of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA derived from fish oil.
- In dogs with heart disease, EPA helps maintain lean body mass and appetite, as well as normal heart rate, blood pressure, and platelet aggregation.
- In dogs with renal failure, omega-3 fatty acids help to slow the progression of renal failure.
- In congestive heart failure, sodium elimination is reduced as part of the compensatory response mechanism, with consequent retention of sodium and water.
- The reduced level of sodium helps to break the vicious circle of water retention, which is essential in patients with kidney, liver and heart failure.
- A restricted phosphorus content is essential to reduce hyperphosphatemia and to slow the progression of renal failure.
- The reduced protein content in combination with its high biological value reduces azotemia in dogs with renal failure.
- In dogs with liver failure it reduces the likelihood of hyperammonemia and the possibility of hepatic encephalopathy.
- The high biological value of proteins meets the dog's needs for essential amino acids.
- Protein restriction reduces urinary concentrations of oxalates, cystine and urates, which together with alkaline urinary pH prevents precipitation of calcium oxalate, cystine and urates crystals and contributes to a healthy urinary tract.
- Added potassium citrate helps keep calcium oxalate in solution.
