Abstract
Serum uremic toxins markedly increase in cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and have deleterious consequences. Renaltec is an oral adsorbent that binds uremic toxin precursors in the gut. In this prospective cohort study utilizing 13 purpose-bred cats with remnant kidney model-induced CKD (12 IRIS Stage 2, 1 IRIS Stage 3) eating a standardized renal diet, we aimed to assess the effect of Renaltec administration on serum indoxyl sulfate (IDS) and p-cresol sulfate (pCS) concentrations. Cats were sequentially treated with standard of care for 56 days, 500 mg Renaltec orally once daily for 56 days, and then three months later, 500 mg Renaltec orally twice daily for 56 days. Serum IDS and pCS concentrations were measured 28 and 56 days after the administration of Renaltec. Blood pressure and kidney function were measured before and 56 days after the administration of Renaltec. Significant decreases in serum IDS and pCS concentrations were observed for both once- and twice-daily dosing, particularly during the first 28 days of administration. More cats with BID dosing had clinically significant reductions in serum IDS and pCS concentrations than with SID dosing. Renaltec can reduce the serum concentrations of deleterious gut-derived uremic toxins in cats with CKD.
