Hi everyone!
My 3 year old cat has been having elevated creatinine level (still within normal range) since September last year and my vet is suggesting us to lower the phos level in her diet. She's been eating wet food and freeze-dried food ever since I got her when she was 3 month old. The wet food brands she's been eating are ziwi (most of the time), weruva and lotus. Recently I'm also giving her more tiki cat since it has lower phos level than ziwi. The freeze-dried brands are Primal and fresh is best.
I know that CKD usually happens with senior cats so I don't know why her kidney levels are elevated when she's still so young... Her creatinine level was 1.4 last March, 1.9 last September and 2.0 in the recent bloodwork results in January this year. Her SDMA was 6 last March, 11 last September and 13 in the recent bloodwork results in January this year. Her albumin has been a little elevated too (4.0) but I'm not sure if it has any significant meaning. Her RBC and Hematocrit were always on the higher side too.
Her urinalysis results were normal. She was tested 2 times and USG were 1.059 and 1.069. No UTI was detected. Proteins were detected in her urine but Urine Protein: Creatinine Ratio was normal (0.1).
She's been eating a lot more freeze-dried meat treats since last March so I'd say her diet has higher protein.
Does anyone know if it means she has kidney disease?
Thank you!!
