Chronic Renal Disease

[Perseus]

Here's a really good video on understanding the different types of kidney disease, by Dr. Dennis Chew, The Ohio State University.  Very good photos and graphs to explain the various stages and progression of the disease and the treatments.

meatball, you're very welcome.  I've had so many cats with renal disease over the years I'm always on the look out for more information to share.  I hope your friend joins us, too, on these wonderful forums.  If she can post what she's doing to manage the disease in her kitty, I'm sure we can send her additional links and info to help out.  I hope she's not afraid to join us here because of threats from mods on other forums, we all know how that goes.
