Abstract Background Hypercalcemia of malignancy (HM) secondary to lymphoma in dogs has the potential to cause renal injury. Hypothesis/Objectives Characterize outcomes related to acute kidney injury (AKI) secondary to HM...

Abstract Background Hypercalcemia is associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in cats, but studies assessing the physiologically relevant ionized calcium fraction are lacking. Objectives To describe the prevalence an...

Abstract Background Hyperthyroid cats often have urine specific gravity (USG) values

Abstract Four 2‐month‐old foals were presented to an equine hospital with acute kidney injury caused by Leptospira interrogans infection. Clinical signs were nonspecific and included lethargy, fever, and unwillingnes...

Abstract Background Diabetes mellitus is the main cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in humans. The relationship between the 2 diseases in cats is unclear. Objective To assess the association between diabetes and CKD ...

Abstract Background Cardiac cachexia, loss of muscle mass associated with congestive heart failure (CHF), is associated with increased morbidity and shorter survival times in people, but an association between cardiac ca...

Abstract Background Plasma total magnesium concentration (tMg) is a prognostic indicator in cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD), shorter survival time being associated with hypomagnesemia. Whether this risk factor is ...

In human beings, intrarenal blood flow impedance, expressed as the resistive index (Rl) and obtained by duplex Doppler ultrasonography, has been used to aid in diagnosis and prognosis of renal failure. Higher than normal...

Abstract Background Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a phosphaturic hormone that is increased in azotemic cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and predictive of the onset of azotemia in older cats. The introducti...

ABSTRACT Background Fungal rhinosinusitis in cats is an uncommon condition with sparse literature regarding the presentation, causative agents, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis within the UK. Hypothesis/Objectives To ...

Abstract Background Systemic hypertension (SH) is a potential complication of acute kidney injury (AKI) in dogs. Objective To describe the prevalence of SH and hypertensive retinopathy in dogs with AKI, to investigate th...

Abstract Background Hyponatremia is common in horses with bacterial pleuropneumonia, but no further characterization of this abnormality has been reported. Objectives Describe admission plasma sodium concentration ([Na])...

Abstract Background Liver‐type fatty acid‐binding protein (L‐FABP) and neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin (NGAL) are candidate biomarkers for the detection of early chronic kidney disease (CKD) in cats. O...

ABSTRACT Background Combined measurement of functional, glomerular, and tubular markers in aging dogs is essential to detect early renal disease. Objectives Prospective longitudinal study to describe renal function and a...

Abstract Background Information regarding long‐term outcome of dogs recovering from acute kidney injury (AKI) is limited. Objectives Determine the long‐term outcome of dogs recovering from AKI and identify predictors...

Abstract Background High‐salt diets promote urine dilution and decrease urolithiasis risk. Objective Prospectively evaluate the safety of chronic high dietary salt intake (randomized controlled trial). Animals Twenty r...

Abstract Background Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the gold standard in assessing renal function but is impractical. Serum creatinine (sCr) has limited sensitivity in identifying early chronic kidney disease (CKD), ...

ABSTRACT Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common sequela of ureteral obstruction, but many cats are non‐azotemic after subcutaneous ureteral bypass (SUB) placement. Objectives Compare CKD progression rates ...

Abstract Background Kidney injury (KI) has been documented in dogs treated with furosemide for left‐sided congestive heart failure (CHF). Hypothesis/Objectives Determine risk factors for development of KI in furosemide...

Abstract Background Hypercalcemia is commonly observed in cats with azotemic chronic kidney disease (CKD). Dietary phosphate restriction is considered standard of care but may contribute to the development of hypercalcem...

Abstract Background The ingestion of grapes or raisins has been reported to cause acute kidney injury (AKI) in dogs, with a clinical picture dominated by early gastrointestinal signs and rapidly developing uremia. Ataxia...

Abstract Background Soluble‐type hemojuvelin in serum and urine has been shown to be a biomarker in humans for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI). No similar research has been conducted on cats....

A newborn foal was presented because it was unresponsive and in cardiopulmonary arrest. Aggressive cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation was administered to the foal, which revived the foal; however, acute renal failure...
