Resumen

La enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) es una de las patologías más comunes en los gatos geriátricos. Sus síntomas iniciales son tan sutiles que suelen ignorarse, pero un diagnóstico temprano puede cambiar por completo el pronóstico del paciente. Una de las novedades en su manejo es entender el "eje intestino-riñón": cuando los riñones fallan, se altera la microbiota intestinal (disbiosis), lo que provoca una acumulación de toxinas urémicas que dañan aún más al organismo. Por ello, el tratamiento moderno no solo exige un control médico veterinario riguroso, sino un enfoque integral en casa que combine dietas personalizadas, probióticos, antioxidantes y un ambiente libre de estrés para regalarle a nuestra mascota mejor calidad de vida.
