Chronic Renal Failure
100% Natural Supplements for Symptoms of Renal Failure in Cats
Renal failure is due to the kidneys failing to eliminate waste products from the blood, causing toxins to accumulate. There are two types of renal failure, acute and chronic, both of which are common conditions in cats.
Chronic Renal Failure (CRF)
CRF is a condition due to long-standing irreversible kidney damage that impairs the kidney’s ability to filter and remove waste products from the blood. This slow and progressive condition can go undetected for months or even years causing severe damage and preventing the kidneys from functioning properly.
CRF is one of the most common forms of kidney failure and one of the significant causes of illness and death in older cats, although it can be seen in younger cats as well.

Acute Renal Failure (ARF)
ARF can affect cats at any age but is more prevalent in younger cats. Causes of ARF include:
- Kidney disease
- Trauma to the kidneys
- Congenital disorders
- Cancer
- Poisoning caused by ingestion of toxins that attack the kidney, such as:
- Antifreeze
- Poisonous plants
- Certain medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs used to treat cats with heart disease
