Specific CKD Heart & Kidney Support is for heart failure (with concurrent kidney failure), hypertension, oedema, chronic renal insufficiency, hepatic insufficiency (except patients with cholestasis) and urate, oxalate or cystine urolithiasis.

Benefits
  • Specific CKD Heart & Kidney Support has unique high levels of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA derived from fish oil.
  • In dogs with cardiac disease EPA counteracts cachexia, improves arrhythmia andreduces hypertension and platelet aggregation.
  • In dogs with kidney failureomega-3 fatty acids help to slow down the progression of kidney failure.
  • In congestive heart failure, sodium excretion is reduced as part of the compensatory response to the reduced cardiac output and consequently sodium and water retention occurs.
  • The reduced sodium level helps to break the vicious circle of water retention (hypertension and oedema). This is essential for both kidney, liver and heart patients.
  • A restricted content of phosphorus is essential to prevent hyperphosphataemia and to slow down the progression of kidney insufficiency.
  • The reduced content of protein in combination with protein of high biological value and an alkaline pH reduces azotemia in dogs with renal failure.
  • In dogs with liver failure it reduces the likelihood of hyperammonaemia and possible hepatic encephalopathy.
  • The high biological value of the proteins supplies a sufficient amount of essential amino acids to the dog.
  • The restricted protein level reduces the urinary concentrations of oxalate, cystine and urate. Together with the alkaline urine pH, this prevents precipitation of urinary calcium oxalate, cystine and urate crystals.
  • Added potassium citrate reduces the risk of calcium oxalate precipitation.
