Description
The role of dietary management in feline kidney conditions is to provide an appropriate balance of total nutrients while meeting the special dietary needs of the patient. Low phosphorus intake helps to protect against hyperphosphatemia and the associated renal damage. Restricted but high quality protein in the diet minimizes the intake of nonessential amino acids. This helps decrease the production of nitrogenous waste products. Reduced levels of sodium helps compensate for the diseased kidneys inability to regulate this important mineral. Increased omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce glomerular hypertension.Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets NF Kidney Function Feline Formula offers dietary benefits that provide optimal nutrition while meeting your adult cat’s special needs.
