Resumo
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important and frequently disease in small animal
medicine, and It is progressive, irreversible and has no cure. In most cases, the
cause of CKD isn’t present when the animal is diagnosticated, and decreased renal
function causes imbalance in homeostasis. Treatment of CKD is a challenge for
veterinarians, who must understand the consequences of the disease to treat them,
prevent disease progression and increase survival time for patients with quality. The
main treatment is the nutrition, including changing the diet and mantain a good body
condition score. It’s also important to mantain hydration, correction of electrolyte and
acid-base disorders, treat hypertension, proteinuria, hyperphosphatemia, anemia,
vitamin D deficiency, gastrointestinal abnormalitties and concomitant infections.
Other promise but yet available treatments are hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and
renal transplantation. Additional treatments should also be used according to the
clinical signs and the reality of each patient.
