Recently there have been new tests developed for the assessment of renal function, the role of these tests in the clinical setting will be discussed, along with the overall assessment of renal cases, initially focusing on the assessment and stabilisation of acute kidney injury cases.
The second session will look at the diagnosis, classification and treatment options for chronic kidney disease, taking a case based approach to discussing the various treatment options.
The final session will look at lower urinary tract disorders in the cat, with particular focus on diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic feline lower urinary tract disease; once again this will be a case based discussion.
