SPECIFIC™ Adult Cat FKW Kidney Support, Wet Cat Food With Pork, 100 g

- Chronic renal failure
- Hepatic insufficiency (except in patients with biliary obstruction)
- Heart failure, increased blood pressure, edema
- Urinary stone disease (urates, oxalates, cystines)

COMPOSITION CHARACTERISTICS AND RATIONALE
Limited phosphorus content is necessary to prevent hyperphosphatemia and delay the progression of renal failure.

EPA and DHA are omega-3 fatty acids that help prevent the progression of kidney failure 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 feed has a particularly high content of fish oil and, accordingly, the content of EPA and DHA fatty acids.

Reduced high biological value protein reduces azotemia in cats with renal failure. Reduces the risk of hyperammonemia and hepatic encephalopathy in cats with liver failure. Proteins with a high biological value ensure the needs of the cat's body for important amino acids.

In patients with heart failure, sodium output is decreased as a response to the reduced volume of blood ejected by the heart, resulting in sodium and water retention in the body. The low sodium content helps to break the closed loop of fluid exchange (hypertension and edema). This is extremely important for patients with kidney and liver failure, as well as heart failure.

The limited protein content reduces the concentration of oxalates, cystines and urates in the urine. Together with the alkaline pH of the urine, this prevents the formation of calcium oxalate crystals, urates and cystines in the urine and helps maintain urinary tract health. The risk of calcium oxalate formation is also reduced thanks to the potassium citrate present in the feed.

MORE INFORMATION
- SPECIFIC™ FKW Kidney Support has a reduced copper content, as patients with liver problems may have impaired copper elimination from the body.
- SPECIFIC™ FKW Kidney Support has an increased potassium content to help combat hypokalemia seen in cats with kidney problems.
- The feed has a high content of water-soluble vitamins and potassium to compensate for their excretion in the urine in patients with heart problems treated with diuretics.
- To maintain the function of the heart muscle, taurine and L-carnitine are added to the feed.
- The excellent taste properties of SPECIFIC™ FKW Kidney Support feed create the maximum prerequisites for the animal to take in an adequate amount of nutrients to maintain health and promote recovery when it has a poor appetite.
