    This article provides data to suggest that feeding a diet specifically formulated to meet the needs of cats with CRF, together with phosphate binding drugs if required, controls hyperphosphataemia and secondary renal hyperparathyroidism, is associated with an increased survival time.

  • Other medications are available and your veterinarian will be able to recommend what is needed for your cat.

  • Be advised that there is NO drug that is entirely free of side effects

  • The severity of side effects vary by patient
  • Only the human form of erythropoietin is currently available for treatment of felines
  • Although the human version has been proven effective, some cats may develop antibodies against it
  • must be stopped immediately
  • Feline recombinant erythropoietin is not commercially available at this time. 
  • An anabolic steroid that is used to improve appetite
  • Anemia
  • Calcium Imbalance  
  • Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D (D3). An excess of phosphorus suppresses the production of calcitriol
  • The lack of calcitriol prevents calcium from being absorbed in the alimentary canal which leads to hypocalcemia
  • Hyperphosphatemia (excess phosphorus
  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • (Amlodipine, calcium channel blocker
  • These medications may be helpful in treating CRF since they dilate the blood vessels thereby increasing blood flow to the kidneys
  • Hypokalemia (potassium depletion
  • potassium gluconate)
  • Inappetence (loss of appetite
  • Periactin (cyproheptadine
  • Potassium supplementation combined with the inability of the kidneys of end-stage CRF cats to sufficiently rid their bodies of excess potassium can stress the heart and could potentially cause heart failure and/or other associated problems
  • For some reason, Periactin works to stimulate the appetite in cats. Periactin does not work equally well for all cats, but since it has fewer and less serious side effects than the family of tranquilizers more commonly used for appetite stimulation, it's worth a try
  • Valium (diazepam) and Serax (oxazepam
  • By experimentation you may find a dose small enough not to cause noticeable CNS depression while still stimulating appetite.
  • When giving these tranquilizers to cats, it is extremely important to always keep a close watch on them when the drug takes effect to make sure they don't fall off anything.
  • Pepcid AC Acid Controller (famotidine
  • Kremezin (AST-120)
  • is not an appetite stimulant. It simply eliminates one of the disturbances that can cause a cat not to eat and, therefore, may improve appetite
  • Antibiotics
  • Antibiotics do not fight CRF, they fight infections that may be taking advantage of your cat's weakened condition
