Abstract
Kidney diseases are commonly encountered in companion animals, and
traditionally diagnosed with serum creatinine concentration (Cr), blood urea nitrogen
(BUN), and abnormal urinalysis findings. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a
common cause of decreased quality of life in dogs and cats, as well as death. The
present study was carried out for diagnosis and therapeutic management of CKD in
dogs. The total number of dogs (n=18) were divided into 2 groups, viz., Group I
(Healthy Group, n=6) and Group II (Therapeutic Group, n=12 CKD dogs); and the
findings of clinical signs, haemato-biochemical profile and urine analysis were
compared between two groups. Dogs of Group II suffering from CKD were then used
for therapeutic trial.
