Evaluation of the effect of Renaltec in cats with IRIS stage 2 and 3 chronic kidney disease.
Clinical evidence update from Journal of feline medicine and surgery
Clinical Context
Peer-reviewed veterinary literature continues to shape everyday decision-making for feline patients, especially when new evidence clarifies diagnosis, treatment selection, monitoring, or clinical outcomes.
What the Study Evaluated
A study published in Journal of feline medicine and surgery in 2026 evaluated evaluation of the effect of Renaltec in cats with IRIS stage 2 and 3 chronic kidney disease..
Key Findings
ObjectivesChronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with accumulation of uremic toxins such as indoxyl sulfate (IS) in blood and tubular epithelial cells, which contribute to the progression of CKD. The aim of this prospective, randomised, two-centre clinical pilot study was to evaluate the effect of oral spherical carbonaceous adsorbent Renaltec (Porus One) on IS plasma concentration, progression of CKD, parameters of calcium/phosphate homeostasis (total calcium [tCa], phosphorus, fibroblast growth factor 23 [FGF-23]), urine protein:creatinine ratio (UPC) and faecal dysbiosis index (FDI) in cats with stable CKD International Renal Interest...
Why It Matters for Veterinary Professionals
For veterinary professionals, the practical value of this work lies in how the findings may support more structured clinical assessment, clearer monitoring, and more informed decisions for feline patients.
Practical Interpretation
The results should be interpreted in the context of the study design, population, inclusion criteria, and clinical setting. Application in practice should consider patient-specific risk factors, available diagnostics, local standards of care, and clinician judgment.
Clinical Takeaway
Overall, the study adds useful evidence for clinicians seeking to align daily practice with current veterinary research while maintaining a balanced, case-by-case approach.
