IT'S ALL ABOUT THE KIDNEYS

Once a patient has been diagnosed with CKD and staged according to the IRIS guidelines, it is important to substage its disease. The animal should be sub-staged for both proteinuria and blood pressure. The goal in sub-staging for proteinuria is to confirm that the protein in the urine is renal in origin by ruling out post-renal and pre-renal causes. Systemic hypertension is a common complication of CKD, and uncontrolled hypertension can cause further damage to nephrons, leading to more rapid progression of the disease. Control of hypertension is therefore an important component of therapy.
