Although CRF occurs in dogs and cats of all ages, it is commonly considered a disease of older animals, and the incidence increases with age. A study found that in cats with CRF 53% of the cats were over 7 years old. CRF has been recognised more frequently in Maine Coon, Abyssinian, Siamese, Russian blue and Burmese cats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHypokalaemia is consistently associated with CRF in the cat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePotassium replacement therapy is indicated for patients with a serum potassium level lower than 4 mEq\/L even in the absence of clinical signs of hypokalaemia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSince only 2% of total body potassium is found in blood serum, even normal serum values can mask a severe total potassium depletion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft undiagnosed, hypokalaemia can lead to serious complications in otherwise healthy looking patients with CRF.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt has been shown that dietary potassium supplementation by itself in some cases stems the course of CRF.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePotassium gluconate is the preferred form of potassium for replacement therapy in cats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong-term potassium supplementation at a dose of 2 mEq per day has been recommended for all cats with CRF.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePotassium gluconate is safely administered orally and KALIGEL enables the cat’s owner to readily cope with the daily dosage regimen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e The usual dose is 2 to 6 mEq of potassium per cat each day (half a teaspoonful [2,5g] of Kaligel contains 2 milliequivalents of potassium), depending on the size of the cat and the severity of the hypokalaemia. Dosage should be adjusted on clinical response and serial measurement of serum potassium concentration.
