a successful formula to face the renal insufficiency

The animals that suffer renal insufficiency, tend to accumulate urea and creatinina, that are generated wastes of the metabolism of proteins since their kidneys work incorrectly reason why they have difficulty to eliminate them by tinkles it.

Recently, studies made by Iams Company and investigators of different universities, revealed that to feed dogs and cats with a diet that includes fibers, like the beet pulp, it can help the elimination of these mentioned remainders previously.

This fiber influences in the proliferation of intestinal bacteria that include nitrogen for their cellular wall (they ingest nitrogen) what it is translated in a greater nitrogen pick up by these bacteria and, therefore, increases the excreción of nitrogen in fecas what produces that the circulating urea diminishes nitrogen in the blood diminishing of this form.

This effect must a mainly:
Increase of the sanguineous flow that will take more remainders of nitrogen to the intestine (colon).

Increase in the excreción of nitrogen in fecas due to the proliferation of capturing nitrogen bacteria.

How is translated this in the health of my dog or cat?
Thanks to this called mechanism Nitrogen trap, in the mascots or are dogs or cats with a renal insufficiency, we can give foods that contain a greater amount of proteins and this form to maintain a healthful body the more as far as their muscular structure. Before the tendency was to administer to this type of patient foods with a low protein level but of this form that has been managed to change.
