Pet renal failure caused by decreased blood flow and poisoning symptoms. In some cases, it can lead to death in a few hours, which is a terrible disease. But now, says veterinarian Taiji Nakamura, there are epoch-making treatments with higher life-saving rates than ever before. Nakamura, as a veterinarian facing the lives of many animals, explained the causes of pet kidney failure and the latest treatment.

Acute renal failure worsened sharply in a few hours to days.

[renal failure]-- [signal of concern] the function of reducing appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, drinking a lot of water, and excreting a large amount of urine is to excrete wastes that the body does not need in the blood to the body through urine. regulate the body's electrolyte balance and blood pressure. The so-called vital organs that keep the body permanent. In addition, it also produces hormones that increase red blood cells. About 25% of the blood flowing out of the heart is sent to the kidneys, which is used as the raw material to make urine. In addition, the ureters that transport urine from the kidneys and kidneys to the bladder, the bladder that accumulates urine, and the urethra that excrets urine are collectively referred to as the urinary system. For some reason, the state of kidney failure is called "renal failure". Renal failure includes "acute renal failure" and "chronic renal failure", which suddenly lead to a decline in kidney function. Acute renal failure is a disease in which kidney function drops sharply in a few hours to days for some reason. Once the function of the kidneys decreases, they will not be able to discharge waste with the urine, and some waste will accumulate in the body.

The cause of poisoning. Cats should pay attention to "lilies" and dogs want "grapes".

There are roughly three reasons. First, it is called prerenal sex, which is caused by a decrease in blood flow to the kidney. In addition to heart disease, it occurs when the amount of blood flowing in the body decreases due to reasons such as bleeding and dehydration. The second is nephrotic, which is caused by the disorder of the kidney itself. For example, this is the case when kidney damage is caused by infection or certain toxic substances. There are all kinds of poisonous substances. For example, it is well known that if it is a cat, it can cause toxic symptoms in plants of the Liliaceae. For cats, lily plants are so poisonous that simply licking water in a vase can lead to death. Typical lilies include lilies, tulips and so on. Cat owners should be careful to make sure that there are no lily plants in the room. If it is a dog, it will be poisoned by grapes. Not only raw grapes, raisins and other raisins can also cause poisoning symptoms, so we need to pay attention to. There are also dogs that do not cause symptoms of poisoning even if they eat grapes, while there are cases in which kidney damage can be caused by just putting a grain in the mouth. It is well known that Leptospira is infected with this disease in infectious diseases. Leptospira is a bacterial disease co-infected by both humans and animals. Mice infected with Leptospira will be infected by urine, or by licking or touching water contaminated by Leptospira. Once infected, the kidneys and liver can become dysfunctional. There are many cases of dog infection, but it is rare in cats. In addition, there are more and more cases in warm areas.
