Hi I had a patient come in last night, a 3 year old cat who appeared to have chronic renal failure or possibly acute on chronic.
- USG 1.012, proteinuria, inactive sediment
- azotemia/hyperphosphatemia (creatinine 5.2 mg/dl), hypokalemia
- non-regenerative anemia (20% pcv in very dehydrated patient).
- globulins 6.1 g/dl
- Felv/FIV neg
Owner reported he had been eating less and less over the past few months. He had lost approximately half of his body weight.

A SonoPath (DVM or DMV) specialist will respond to your post as well. 🙂

Unlikley lymphoma as kidneys
Unlikley lymphoma as kidneys of of normal size. FIP and congenital renal disease would be two most likely diagnoses. With the urinalysis and blood work changes, prognosis is very poor.
OK, thanks, I suspected this
