- A restricted phosphorus content is essential to reduce hyperphosphatemia and to slow the progression of renal failure.
- EPA and DHA are both omega-3 fatty acids that help slow the progression of kidney failure.
- In cats with heart disease, EPA and DHA help maintain lean body mass and normal appetite, blood pressure and platelet aggregation.
- The high content of fish oil, and consequently of EPA and DHA, is exceptionally high in SPECIFIC® FKD Kidney Support.
- The reduced protein content in combination with its high biological value reduces azotemia in cats with renal failure.
- In cats with liver failure it reduces the likelihood of hyperammonemia and the possibility of hepatic encephalopathy.
- The high biological value of proteins meets the cat's needs in essential amino acids.
- 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.
- 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.
