| | 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. |

| | This has been termed the hyperfiltration theory of renal failure and explains the scenario in which progressive renal failure is frequently observed after apparent recovery from ARF. | | | The principal methods of renal replacement therapy (RRT) are intermittent hemodialysis (IHD), continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH), and peritoneal dialysis (PD). | | | Flank pain and hematuria should raise a concern about renal calculi or papillary necrosis as the source of urinary obstruction. |

| | There are two kinds of kidney failure, Acute Renal Failure (renal means kidney-related), abbreviated here as ARF; and Chronic Renal Failure, abbreviated as CRF. | | | ARF is a serious condition which usually comes on suddenly and which is often triggered by a particular event, such as your cat eating something poisonous. | | | If so, you are probably feeling shell-shocked and frightened; but please take a deep breath and don't give up all hope just yet, because it may be possible to help your cat. |

| | CRF that leads to severe illness and requires some form of renal replacement therapy (such as dialysis) is called end-stage renal disease (ESRD). | | | After ESRD occurs, renal replacement therapy is required, in the form of either dialysis or a transplant. | | | CRF patients suffer from accelerated atherosclerosis and have higher incidence of cardiovascular disease, with a poorer prognosis. |

| | Renal (Kidney) Failure |
| | The treatment of renal failure is performed on a case-by-case basis to meet the individual needs of each patient. | | | Many of these clinical signs can occur with medical conditions other than renal failure and it is important to seek veterinary attention for your pet if they are experiencing any of these clinical signs. | | | In many cases, pets with chronic renal failure can be treated with medications, fluid therapy and dietary changes to help them feel better and slow the progression of the disease for months or even years. |

| | Renal Failure |
| | Intractable pain has not been described by human patients in renal failure, but some non-specific aches (like we get with the flu) may occur. | | | There really is no cure for chronic renal failure, as that tissue will never be replaced, only palliative treatment designed to decrease levels of toxic substances in the blood and thus clinical signs. | | | Chronic renal failure occurs when the process progresses to the point where there is so little functioning renal tissue that the substances which normally are excreted by the kidney, are no longer excreted, and build up into the blood. |

| | Many people with chronic kidney failure don't realize they have a problem until their kidney function has decreased to less than 25 percent of normal. | | | This is most likely to occur after complicated surgery or a severe injury, or when blood vessels leading to your kidneys become blocked. | | | Chronic kidney failure, on the other hand, usually develops slowly, with few signs or symptoms in the early stages. |
