CURRENT APPROACHING OF THE CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE

Abstract

The chronic renal failure is a consequence of a lack of renal diseases, that culminates in loss of the kidney excretory and concentrator functions. It’s considered the main renal dog affection and it’s marked for its progression, in such a way that independently of the cause, leads to the gradual and irreversible destruction of the nefrons. Much discussion is made on therapies for delaying the disease advance, although the survival of animals with renal failure does not depend on only the choice of the ideal therapeutics but on the conscious of their owners and veterinarians in relation to the importance of the early diagnostic, identification of the original renal disease, the nutrition of this patient and clinic – laboratory aspects in its several phases. This article proposes to review the main changes caused by chronic renal failure, marking the principal points on physiopathology, diagnostic methods, therapeutic and clinic management of the chronic renal patient, in order to retard the disease progression and providing best life quality.
