What causes the symptoms of chronic renal failure in cats?

The symptoms of chronic renal failure (CRF) in cats are caused by the progressive loss of kidney function. As the kidneys fail, they are unable to properly filter waste products from the blood, leading to the accumulation of toxins in the body. These toxins can damage various organs and tissues, causing a wide range of symptoms that may include:

- Increased thirst

- Increased urination

- Weight loss

- Vomiting

- Diarrhea

- Lethargy

- Weakness

- Anemia

- High blood pressure

- Poor appetite

- Bad breath

- Seizures

- Coma

CRF is a serious condition that can ultimately be fatal if left untreated. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to slow the progression of the disease and improve the cat's quality of life.
