Chronic kidney disease is common in our feline patients, affecting up to 90% of cats over 15yrs of age.Whilst most of us feel comfortable making a diagnosis of CKD, challenges can come when patients have multiple diseases, or when the cat decides that they know what's best! In this seminar we will review the diagnosis and management of CKD, from an evidence-based viewpoint, and discuss ways we might improve the QOL of cats, and compliance of our owners.
