#Chronic Kidney Disease CKD

[shibarot]

hi everyone, i'm in need of some help. i hate asking others for anything, but this is different. as it concerns my babygirl of 13 years, apple. this cat has been with me thru everything. my parent's divorce, horrendous bullying throughout junior high, a couple breakups, a svicide attempt, loss, and much more. she is my rock and i wouldn't be here today without her. she got diagnosed with "kidney failure" by a vet on friday, and they swarmed my boyfriend in the clinic and urged us to put her down. that she wouldn't make it a week. i wanted some more time with her, so i took her home that day. when we got home, i started to panic because i was scared she was suffering, and got my boyfriend to contact his family vet to put her down that same day instead. to spare her from suffering. however, as we were in the patient room, about to sedate her to put her down, the doctor came in and looked at the bloodwork we received from the other vet. he immediately stopped the euthanasia-procedure and explained to me that she was not in kidney failure. that she was about in stage 2 of chronic kidney disease, and that she did not need to be put down. apparently some vets refuse to help cats with CKD and insist that there is no hope and that they should be put down upon diagnosis. but he didn't want to do that. so now here we are, she's back home with me and being just-about her usual self. however, CKD is common in senior cats and apple has it. it cannot be cured, and it is terminal, but cats with CKD can live happy, normal lives if they are given treatment and special care. (i've done lots of reading since thursday-friday.) of course though, vet bills and special food for apple is going to be expensive. so i would like to ask, if you can afford to commission me, or if you would like to donate at all, please check out my ko-fi. it would mean the absolute world to me, my boyfriend, my family, and apple. thank you so very much for reading ♥. please don't feel obligated to do anything, just keep her in your thoughts for me.

Had another silly tangent with the co-conspirator, stemming from him sending me this:

Me: i'm just thinking abt shit gymrat!virgil mighta sent to ro maybe a few years after the ckd dx when ro's got more of his shit together y'know since guy's on a low-sodium diet + has The Depression (and at that pt is able to shitpost abt it) Him: but sending it while roman is actively enjoying a grapefruit Me: granted… i'm stopping to think abt whether it'll fuck w/ ro's meds tho now i need to go look at that medications post to see if they say anything abt grapefruit interaction because gdi pharmacology is always fascinating olmesartan - looks like no bueno metformin - seems okay various diuretics - seems okay SSRIs - not a great idea adderall - more of an acidity issue right after than related to those pesky furanocoumarins so on safe side ro's probably not abt to be eating no grapefruit if anyone knowledgeable has anything to say abt it Him: Janus running into the room and ripping it out of his hand swallows the entire thing in one go to prevent him from whining Visible bulge in his throat as it goes down With roman drooling "that's hot."

today’s my nephrology appt where i get to find out if my liver is also having problems or if the cold meds I took the week of the blood draws fucked up the results! My kidneys think their job is optional and I’m really hoping they didn’t get evangelical with my liver

Also if I’m still so vitamin D deficient I legally qualify as a vampire!

May come out of the appt with fun new dietary restrictions but I’m less worried about that as I am about my liver tbh

So. A lot had happened since I last posted...

In April of 2022 I tested positive for HIV. Not long after that I was diagnosed with stage 2 kidney failure. Over the course of 6mo, those kidney issues escalated to 0% functionality and in December I was sent to the ER for emergency dialysis. I’ve been on dialysis for 6 months, home dialysis for about 2 weeks now.

I’ll be moving home to Texas to be near family in the next few weeks. My boyfriend and I decided that this was the best way to go, as I need the support and he’s unable to move due to his job. Still amicable, still 100% civil, we just realized it’s time.

Pics are from the last year or so

A fun little tiktok I threw together if my dialysis set up. Sadly my chair is out of commission and in need of repair, but the set up is still pretty similar

hm. last time i had bloodwork my renal function was 67%, the dehydration made my blood sugar & protein & electrolyte levels all wonky, & i had ketone levels in my urine comparable to the early stages of diabetic ketoacidosis,

i'm now drinking 3 liters of mineral water a day & all it does, forgive my crassness, is make my GI symptoms about 10x worse. like a nuclear reactor melting down in my guts now that there's Liquid to burn & churn. & still we while away the hours in metabolic acidosis!!! what is your damage, body!!!

The kidneys play a vital role in activating vitamin D, converting it into its active form, calcitriol. This active form of vitamin D helps regulate calcium and phosphorus levels in the body, which are essential for maintaining strong bones and overall health. When the kidneys are not functioning properly, as in the case of chronic kidney disease (CKD), the body's ability to activate vitamin D is impaired, leading to a deficiency.

Uso de Inibidores da Bomba de Prótons em cães com Doença Renal Crônica segundo diretrizes e estudos atuais: O uso profilático pode ser considerado indiscriminado na ausência de sinais de distúrbio gastrointestinal

No estudo de Grady et al. (2023) demonstrou-se que o uso de Inibidores da Bomba de Prótons (IBPs) de maneira profilática em cães com Doença Renal Crônica (DRC) para prevenção de ulceração gástrica não é recomendado, exceto se houver presença de condições clínicas que justifiquem a prescrição, assim como preconizado nas diretrizes atuais do American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine - ACVIM (Colégio Americano de Medicina Interna Veterinária), que recomenda que os IBPs são indicados quando há sinais de sangramento em trato gastrointestinal (MARKS et al, 2018).

Esta contraindicação do uso profilático de IBPs no estudo é embasada no fato de que os dados estatísticos dos cães idosos (10 anos de idade) com DRC (n= 13) demonstraram que os pacientes doentes em estágio I a II da classificação da International Renal Interest Society - IRIS (Sociedade Internacional de Interesse Renal) não tinham pH gástrico mais baixo ou concentrações séricas mais altas de gastrina em comparação com cães saudáveis, corroborando com as orientações das atuais diretrizes do ACVIM.

Em cães com DRC e sinais gastrointestinais, como vômito ou disorexia, medicamentos antieméticos devem ser considerados primeiro, pois outros fatores, como toxinas urêmicas aumentadas ou substâncias emetogênicas de ação central são as causas mais prováveis desses sinais clínicos. Por fim, são necessárias mais pesquisas para determinar a prevalência e a patogênese da ulceração gastrointestinal em cães com DRC. Com base no estudo de Grady et al. (2023), a hiperacidez g��strica provavelmente não é a causa da ulceração, outras anormalidades observadas em cães com DRC, como superfície da mucosa gástrica alterada e mudanças microvasculares gástricas, devem ser consideradas (Peter et al, 2005; CHEVILLE et al, 1979; Stanton ME, Bright RM, 1989). Enquanto isso, a supressão ácida deve ser restrita a cães com DRC que têm fatores de risco adicionais para ulceração ou têm evidências de sangramento gastrointestinal, como hematêmese, melena ou anemia de deficiência (MARKS et al, 2018).

Uma limitação deste estudo foi que um pequeno grupo de cães foi avaliado e apenas a metade dos cães apresentava doenças avançadas (ou seja, estágios IRIS III a IV). Pesquisas futuras devem explorar o valor da supressão de ácido em cães com doenças mais avançadas (estágio IV), bem como em cães com lesão aguda grave em oposição a doenças crônicas.
