Equilibrio Veterinary Renal (RE)

The right food for dogs with kidney disease or renal failure.

Features

• Low phosphorus content: assists in maintaining renal function.
• Protein restriction: to prevent kidney overload and contribute to the maintenance of kidney function.
• High levels of linoleic acid (omega 3): assist in kidney function.
• Antioxidant Complex: helps protect the cell against the action of free radicals.

Indication

• Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
• Prevention of urolithiasis (calcium oxalate, urate and ammonia)

Clinical Considerations

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is observed with great frequency among dogs, mainly in elderly animals, although young dogs can also present the condition, mainly those with inherited or congenital disease. The acquired etiology of CKD includes several etiological agents, the main ones being infectious, toxic, ischemic, immune-mediated, etc. Once present, the kidney injury can evolve without the presence of the etiological agent that caused the process, and thus the gradual loss of kidney function occurs. There are several functions performed by the kidneys and that preserve homeostasis. Renal dysfunction can be detected by laboratory analysis abnormalities and clinical manifestations resulting from fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base imbalance. Usually, laboratory test abnormalities are detected earlier than clinical manifestations.

The main objectives of dietary therapy are based on the supply of daily energy needs, the control of azotemia, the control of secondary renal hyperparathyroidism, the correction of electrolyte imbalances and vitamin B deficiency, and the need for supplementation of fatty acids with less potent inflammatory action and antiplatelet aggregation (omega-3). Balance Veterinary Renal Dog – RE presents in its composition ingredients to help and reduce the signs of the disease, for example, prebiotics that contribute as a source of fermentable carbohydrates for gastrointestinal bacteria, which use urea as a source of nitrogen for their growth, which suggests a potential beneficial effect, by increasing fecal nitrogen, and less absorption into the bloodstream.

Furthermore, they can help regulate digestive disorders that occur mainly in the final stages of CKD. The ingredients are inadequate levels to meet the specific needs of dogs with CKD, in addition to having high palatability, since many animals attacked have capricious appetites and/or anorexia.
