Specific Fkd Kidney Support

SPECIFIC FKD Kidney Support 3kg Kidney support: A restricted content of phosphorus is essential to prevent hyperphosphataemia and to slow down the progression of kidney insufficiency. Kidney & heart support: EPA and DHA are both omega-3 fatty acids which help slow down the progression of kidney failure. In cats with cardiac disease EPA and DHA counteract cachexia and reduce hypertension and platelet aggregation. The content of fish oil, and thereby the level of EPA and DHA is exceptionally high in SPECIFIC™ FKD/FKW Kidney Support. Liver & kidney support: The reduced content of protein in combination with protein of high biological value reduces 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. Heart & kidney support: 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 to break the vicious circle of water retention (hypertension and oedema). This is essential for both kidney, liver and heart patients. Urinary crystal & stone protection: The restricted protein level reduces the urinary concentrations of oxalate, cystine and urate. Together with the alkaline urine pH, this prevents precipitation of urinary calcium oxalate, cystine and urate crystals. Also the content of potassium citrate reduces the risk of calcium oxalate precipitation.
