Article Synopsis
- - This study compared kidney function in obese and healthy normal-weight cats by measuring intrarenal resistive index (RI), serum symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), and serum creatinine levels.
- - Thirty client-owned cats were divided into two groups (Control and Obese), and various body metrics and ultrasound evaluations were conducted.
- - The results showed that obese cats had higher SDMA levels and that the intrarenal RI was particularly elevated in obese female cats, indicating that increased body weight and metrics were linked with potential kidney issues in obesity.
