Veterinary Clinical Medicine-I (General and Systemic)

TREATMENT - NUTRITIONAL MANAGEMENT

• A protein-restricted kidney diet has been the corner stone in the treatment of CRF for many years. 
• Adding soluble fibre to the diet, the excretion of nitrogen through the stool increases, further improving the well-being of your renal patients.
• Phosphate restriction is beneficial for patients with CRF.
• Either direct, or through secondary renal hyperparathyroidism, hyperphosphataemia leads to a further progression of kidney failure.
• Sodium restriction and alkalinisation
• Treating underlying (teeth problem,) causes and making the diet more palatable
• Increasing the dietary ω3: ω6 fatty acid ratio
