Proteinuria in Dogs: Evaluating a Therapeutic Renal Diet

Kidney disease, a common health challenge in dogs, often involves proteinuria, the leakage of protein into the urine. This study examines the potential benefits of a therapeutic renal diet in dogs with proteinuric non-azotemic kidney disease, a condition characterized by proteinuria but without elevated blood urea nitrogen levels. The research, conducted in a randomized clinical trial, compared the effects of a renal diet to a maintenance diet in dogs receiving benazepril, a medication commonly used to control proteinuria. The study found that dogs receiving the renal diet experienced a significant reduction in proteinuria and systolic blood pressure compared to dogs receiving the maintenance diet.
