Chronic Kidney Disease. Diagnosis: Heart Disease. Neurological Disorders. The Special Needs of the Senior Cat. Hypertension, or persistent elevation in blood pressure, is a relatively common and potentially serious threat to feline health.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the most common disease associated with hypertension in cats and is found in up to 74% of cats with hypertension. Hyperthyroidism, a disease caused by a tumor on the thyroid gland (usually benign), is also commonly present in cats with hypertension.
The clinical consequences of hypertension can be severe, due to target organ damage (TOD) affecting the eyes, heart, brain and kidneys,1 and some damage may be irreversible. Unless marked TOD is detected, the presence of hyper-tension is unlikely to be immediately apparent.
Most cats with hypertension have an underlying illness responsible for its development; kidney disease and hyperthyroidism are the two most common diseases associated with high blood pressure in cats.
Moving forward, it's essential to keep these visual contexts in mind when discussing Cat Hypertension And Kidney Disease Uti Prevention.
