This webinar will focus on the development of acute kidney disease in cats and dogs.

Characterised by increased serum creatinine, acute uraemia and changes in UOP, the potential causes of AKI will be explored including pre-renal, intrinsic and post-renal.

AKI can develop in cases of pre-existing CKD or may lead to chronic disease if not treated quickly and effectively. The relationship between AKI and CKD will be considered alongside the value of various diagnostic tests and procedures, to include discussion on the phases of AKI and how the disease can be staged. Treatment options will be reviewed including specialised methods of treatment and when these may be indicated.

Designed for qualified veterinary nurses or experienced student nurses wishing to update their knowledge and develop their confidence in this area.
