kidneys are damaged and cannot filter blood as normal. This may progress to end-stage kidney failure, which is fatal without dialysis or a kidney transplant.
About 58 million cats in the United States are estimated to suffer from chronic kidney disease thereby affecting 30-50% of cats age 15 years or older, according to the ....

The American Veterinary Medical Association estimates there are about 58 million cats in the United States. Chronic kidney disease affects 30-50% of cats age 15 years or older. The fibrosis or scarring that occurs as a result of the disease is a common final pathway for kidney disease in both animals and people. For cats, end-stage kidney disease ....
