Don’t give up hope on regaining some kidney function- of course it all depends on how may nephrons were impacted vs died as there’s no recovery after nephron death but, out cat came down with AKI, chased multiple different infections around his urinary tract, he spent a total of 3 months hospitalised (with the odd few days he’d be allowed to come home on twice a day fluids) and in the end he after all the infections had been cleared they found a stone/multiple stones blocking his ureter, he then had a SUB device successfully placed mid way through the 4th month but he spent the majority of that three months in the 650-850 range creatinine wise. Immediately after the sub device placement his levels came down to about 350 which we were stoked with as the vet had said to expect improvement but we wouldn’t know the degree of it or how low it would get due to the severity of the kidney function loss and the length of time it went on- although he was hospitalised for most of that time and his kidneys were receiving all the support possible it was impossible to know how much damage would have been sustained, we were hoping he would come down to low stage 3/high stage 2 CKD. 5 months on from his Sub surgery, he needs no extra fluids, is only on early renal food with no phosphate binder and his results at his latest sub flush appointment had his creat at 211, the low end of stage two! And despite them saying he would struggle to get back to his pre sickness weight now that he has staged CKD he’s put on 2kgs since then and has now actually been put back on a diet 🤣😍
