How to prevent kidney failure?
Someone asked this question in a comment. And it’s transferred to me.
First of all, this is also the way I use in treating these cases. Most of the cats in the whole world die with kidney issues so why and how to prevent it?
I will go briefly.
1- Water.
I do not say lack of drinking, actually drinking a lot means the kidney needs to work more. So it’s not about the amount but the source of water.
Most of the water your cat drinks from (And even you my dear) is not healthy. And full of Cloride, or even other metals that cause kidney failure
2- Artificial food.
Any food with preservatives. Any food that is injected with vaccines, hormones, or even medications. Clear enough?
3- Plastics.
Everywhere, in the environment, imagine that their bodies do have plastic from everything they eat in or drink in or even walk in.
4- Prednisolone, and other drugs.
Many medications that are probably in every vet prescription. corticosteroids, NSAIDs, and appetite stimulants, extra. They won’t tell you that.
So normally medicine likes to go to the war to fight without knowing the consequences or caring about it.
5- Bad understanding of the diseases.
So medicine usually attacks the end result not the reason. So if a cake fell down to the floor, the ants will come in hours. Medicine keeps spraying the ante. Not removing the cake.
So when there is a hair loss, inflammationin teeth, a squamous cell carcinoma or even other usual common diseases. We go for AB, Anti inflammatory (or even prednisolone)
While that is the end result, it is a reflection of an internal issue, the kidney or the liver are suffering from detoxification processes. And when they can not handle it, it expresses it outside them. As a hair loss, or such issues. So imagine to treat the end result, you hurt a major organ.
6- Keeping the inflammatory processes going on. And when you have IBD, and trying to treat it. You hurt other organs. Because the body works as a unite. And while you add more inflammation due to bad habbit, food, water, lifestyle, drugs, it ends up with kidney failure while you were treating a pancreatitis or IBD.
7- Finally, when you treat the heart issues, you help the heart and k!ll the kidney. Although you spent lots of $$$ for the cardiologist.
Note that usually medicine can not treat kidney failure. Although you spend a lot in lab works, ultrasound, treatment, fluids and special diet. And For Azodyl, Epaktine, and others… And the end result? Either to put to sleep. Or unfortunately it ends.
So let’s not reach to it. And let’s understand the general idea and cover it first. And prevention is better than treatment.
There is more but not everything can be written clearly.
