If your dog has symptoms such as easy thirst, urinating, and drinking too much water, then the owner should be careful, it may be a precursor to the dog's kidney failure. They can talk, so if they feel uncomfortable, they must rely on the owner to observe them. Many diseases may have symptoms in the early stage, and if the owner does not pay attention, it is easy to miss the best treatment time.

As far as animals are concerned, the kidney is a very important organ, and its main function is to excrete waste and regulate water and electrolytes. When we eat food, various organs in the body will begin to decompose food, and then digest and absorb it. When these nutrients are sent to each cell for use, the cells themselves will produce some waste. After the waste is processed by the liver, it will be sent to the kidneys, and then these wastes will be excreted through the kidneys, and this is the most important function of the kidneys for the human body.

In addition to expelling waste, the kidneys also have other functions, such as maintaining the acid-alkaline nature of the blood, ion balance, osmotic pressure balance, etc. These are the filaments of the kidneys. Function of spheroids and renal tubules. For endocrine, the kidney also shoulders the important responsibility of erythropoietic hormone, because the balance of the body and the excretion of toxins depend on it.

In simple terms, kidney failure means that the kidneys lose the above functions. When the kidneys lose their function, the first problem is that toxins cannot be excreted, and then they will start to accumulate toxins. After accumulating to a certain stage, the body will start to show some symptoms. Such as poor appetite, lack of energy, vomiting, and even bloody stools, etc. In addition, some urinary system problems will also begin, such as easy thirst and polyuria, but sometimes there will be symptoms of anuria or oliguria.

When a dog is suspected of suffering from renal failure, the doctor usually takes a blood test to check the urea ammonia (BUN) value in the blood. Generally speaking, the normal urea ammonia value is usually below 30. The higher the urea ammonia value, the worse the function of the kidneys to excrete toxins; and the accumulation of toxins in the body will produce a thing called CREATININE, which is a substance metabolized by muscles, so it is also called muscle. Acid”, the normal level of creatine is usually below 2, so when the test results show that both the BUN value and the creatine value exceed the normal standard, it almost means that you have suffered from renal failure, and the more it exceeds, the more dangerous it is.

Treatment of renal failure

As for the treatment of renal failure, in terms of traditional methods, drip injections are usually used to cure renal failure. of animals, traditional treatments are usually sufficient for animals in the early stages of disease.
