FKW Kidney Support 100g

• Chronic kidney insufficiency;
• Liver insufficiency (excluding patients with bile duct obstructions);
• Heart failure, high blood pressure, edema;
• Urolithiasis (urates, oxalates, cystine).

Limited phosphorus content is necessary to prevent hyperphosphatemia and to slow the progression of kidney insufficiency.

EPA and DHA are omega-3 fatty acids that help slow the progression of kidney insufficiency in patients with kidney problems. In cats with heart failure, EPA helps maintain muscle mass and appetite, normal blood pressure, and platelet aggregation. SPECIFIC™ FKW Kidney Support food has a particularly high fish oil content and, accordingly, EPA and DHA fatty acid content.

The reduced protein content with high biological value reduces azotemia in cats with kidney insufficiency. In cats with liver insufficiency, it reduces the likelihood of hyperammonemia and hepatic encephalopathy. Proteins with high biological value meet the cat's body's needs for essential amino acids.
In patients with heart failure, as a response to the reduced volume of blood ejected by the heart, sodium excretion is decreased, resulting in sodium and water retention in the body. The low sodium content helps break the closed fluid exchange loop (hypertension and edema). This is extremely important for patients with kidney and liver insufficiency, as well as in cases of heart failure.
The limited protein content reduces the concentration of oxalates, cystine, and urates in the urine. Together with the alkaline pH of the urine, it prevents the formation of calcium oxalate crystals, urates, and cystine in the urine and helps maintain urinary tract health. The risk of calcium oxalate formation is also reduced due to the potassium citrate present in the food.

• SPECIFIC™ FKW Kidney Support has a reduced copper content, as patients with liver problems may have impaired copper excretion from the body.
• SPECIFIC™ FKW Kidney Support has an increased potassium content, which helps combat hypokalemia observed in cats with kidney problems.
• The food has a high content of water-soluble vitamins and potassium to compensate for their loss through urine in patients with heart problems who are treated with diuretics.
• Taurine and L-carnitine have been added to the food to maintain heart muscle function.
• The excellent taste properties of SPECIFIC™ FKW Kidney Support food create optimal conditions for the animal to consume an adequate amount of nutrients for health maintenance and recovery, even when it has a poor appetite.
