NUTRIENT CONTENT

Nutrient

£ The restricted protein level reduces the urinary concentrations of oxalate, cystine and urate. Together with the alkaline urine pH, this discourages precipitation of urinary calcium oxalate, cystine and urate crystals and supports a healthy urinary tract. Added potassium citrate helps keep calcium oxalate in solution. £ The copper content in SPECIFIC TM FKD Heart & Kidney Support is moderately reduced because copper excretion may be compromised in patients with liver diseases. £ SPECIFIC TM FKD Kidney Support contains zeolite , which can bind ammonium and thereby help reduce uremia in cats with renal failure and hyperammonaemia in cats with liver failure. £ The increased level of potassium in SPECIFIC TM FKD Kidney Support supports normal blood levels of potassium in feline kidney patients. £ The diet has high levels of water soluble vitamins and potassium in order to compensate for increased urinary losses caused by the use of diuretics in heart patients.
