Cat's kidney has inflammation

When a cat's kidney is inflamed, symptoms such as loss of appetite, depression, and lack of activity may occur. In acute nephritis, the cat's urine output decreases, and in chronic kidney disease, the cat drinks more water and urinates more frequently. This is mainly caused by changes in the kidney's ability to concentrate urine. It is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital as soon as possible for diagnosis and treatment.

How to check for nephritis

Cat nephritis can be confirmed through blood routine examination, biochemical examination, and SAA examination. Cat nephritis needs to be treated in time, otherwise it can cause damage to the kidneys. During treatment, owners need to pay attention to the cat's diet. Cat's should not be fed with spicy food, and if conditions permit, you can choose prescription food and prescription cans for the cat.

Can nephritis cause kidney failure?

Nephritis may cause kidney failure, and the condition needs to be judged based on the severity. Clinical kidney failure is generally divided into chronic and acute types, with acute kidney failure usually caused by traumatic nephritis, such as ethylene glycol poisoning or other poisoning, and kidney stones. However, if nephritis does not cause irreversible tissue changes or the condition is controlled in time without causing inflammation to spread, kidney failure will not occur.

Treatment of nephritis

Intravenous fluid therapy is required, including antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, diuretics and anti-edema agents, immunosuppressive drugs, and preventing uremia. At the same time, the salt intake in the cat's food should be limited, and the cat should be given nutritious and easy-to-digest food. If the cat has edema or polyuria during nephritis, it can be treated with diuretics or dextrose solutions via intravenous injection.
