 | | Although the renal protective effect of alkali therapy unproven in humans, there are other reasons (prevention of osteopenia and muscle wasting) why correction of the acidemia might be desirable. | | | Tubulointerstital disease – All forms of chronic renal failure are associated with marked tubulointerstial injury (tubular dilatation, interstitial fibrosis), even if the primary process is a glomerulopathy. | | | The primary disease can be responsible for the continuous deterioration in renal function. |

| | Hyperkalemia is infrequent (except for hyporeninemic hypoaldosteronism or K-sparing diuretic therapy) until end-stage renal failure, when intake may need to be restricted to <= 50 mmol/day. | | | Cardiomyopathy (hypertensive, ischemic) and renal retention of Na and water may lead to congestive heart failure or dependent edema. | | | Diuretics such as furosemide usually are effective even when renal function is markedly reduced. |

| | The goal of such therapy is to prevent or correct hypokalemia-induced renal dysfunction. | | | Conservative medical management of CRF consists of supportive and symptomatic therapy designed to correct deficits and excesses in fluid, electrolyte, acid-base, endocrine, and nutritional balance and thereby minimize the clinical and pathophysiological consequences of reduced renal function. | | | In patients with mild to moderate renal failure, antihypertensive therapy should ideally be effective as monotherapy (i.e. |

| | Feline CRF Information Center - What is CRF? |
| | Aggressively treating CRF, especially with subcutaneous fluid therapy, should not be thought of as "prolonging the agony" as there is no significant pain associated with kidney failure until the end-stage. | | | There is no cure for CRF but the condition may be managed for a time. | | | Human patients with a similar condition don't report "pain" but describe their condition as feeling poorly. |

| | The goal of therapy is to slow down or halt the otherwise relentless progression of CRF to ESRD. | | | Control of blood pressure and treatment of the original disease, whenever feasible, are the broad principles of management. | | | CRF that leads to severe illness and requires some form of renal replacement therapy (such as dialysis) is called end-stage renal disease (ESRD). |
