SPECIFIC TM FKD KIDNEY SUPPORT

PROPERTIES AND RATIONALE FOR THE COMPOSITION

A restricted content of phosphorus is essential to prevent hyperphosphataemia and to slow down the progression of kidney insufficiency.

EPA and DHA are both omega-3 fatty acids which can help slow down the progression of kidney failure. In cats with cardiac disease, EPA and DHA can support maintenance of lean body mass, appetite and normal blood pressure and platelet aggregation. The content of fish oil, and thereby the level of EPA and DHA, is exceptionally high in SPECIFIC TM FKD Kidney Support. The reduced content of protein in combination with protein of high biological value reduce azotemia in cats with renal failure. In cats with liver failure, it reduces the likelihood of hyperammonemia and possible hepatic encephalopathy. The high biological value of the proteins supplies the cat with sufficient amounts of essential amino acids. In congestive heart failure, sodium excretion is reduced as part of the compensatory response to the reduced cardiac output, and consequently sodium and water retention occurs. The reduced sodium level helps break the vicious circle of water retention. This is essential for kidney, liver and heart patients.

With fermentable fibres (beet pulp and FOS) and AuraGuard (containing natural polyphenols) for a healthy gut microbiome and intestinal barrier integrity to support the gut-kidney axis.
