In the Literature: Cats. In a study by Ross and colleagues, cats with spontaneous IRIS stage 2 and 3 CKD were fed a therapeutic kidney diet (n = 22) or an adult maintenance diet (n = 23) and evaluated for 24 months. 2 In the therapeutic diet group, no cats experienced a uremic crisis and no renal-related deaths occurred, whereas, in the maintenance diet group, 26% of cats had uremic crisis and ...
A seminal study in dietary management of CKD demonstrated that dogs with spontaneous CKD lived an average of 13 months longer when fed a diet designed for renal disease compared with a maintenance diet. 1 In addition, dogs eating the renal diet had a 3-fold reduction in relative risk of uremic crises compared with dogs eating the maintenance control diet. At the end of the 2-year study, only ...
Dietary management of feline chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been the mainstay of treatment for decades and remains the most commonly recommended therapy. Based on evidence from clinical studies, the IRIS Board suggests renal diets be considered for cats with IRIS CKD Stage 2 and recommend feeding renal diets to cats with IRIS CKD Stages 3 and 4.

Chronic kidney disease is defined as abnormal renal structure or function, or both, that has persisted for 3 months or more.8 More than 50% of cases of CKD in cats are idiopathic.9,10 In most cats with CKD, the kidneys are damaged by inflammation and progressive fibrosis of the tubules.9,11-14 This is in contrast to CKD in dogs, in which primary
