Journal Article
van den Broek, D., Geddes, R., Lotter, N., Chang, Y., Elliott, J., & Jepson, R. (2022). Ionized hypercalcemia in cats with azotemic chronic kidney disease (2012-2018). Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, https://doi.org/10.1111/jvim.16430

Background Hypercalcemia is associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in cats, but studies assessing the physiologically relevant ionized calcium fraction are lacking. Objectives To describe the prevalence and incidence rate of ionized hypercalcem... Read More about Ionized hypercalcemia in cats with azotemic chronic kidney disease (2012-2018).

Secondary Hypertension And Its Treatment In Cats (2022)
Journal Article
Geddes, R. (2022). Secondary Hypertension And Its Treatment In Cats. Companion Animal, https://doi.org/10.12968/coan.2021.0070

Secondary hypertension, due to an underlying disease, is common in older cats especially in cats with CKD and/or hyperthyroidism. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) should be measured whenever an associated disease is diagnosed and persistent SBP >160mmHg... Read More about Secondary Hypertension And Its Treatment In Cats.

New concepts in phosphorus homeostasis and its impact on renal health with particular reference to the cat (2022)
Journal Article
Elliott, J., & Geddes, R. F. (2022). New concepts in phosphorus homeostasis and its impact on renal health with particular reference to the cat. The Veterinary Journal, 283-284, Article 105842. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2022.105842

New discoveries relating to phosphorus homeostasis include the hormones fibroblast growth factor-23 and klotho produced by bone and kidney. These hormones, together with novel understanding of how calcium and phosphate ions are carried in colloidal f...

Feline Comorbidities: Balancing Hyperthyroidism and Concurrent Chronic Kidney Disease (2022)
Journal Article

Practical relevance - Both hyperthyroidism and chronic kidney disease are common long-lasting conditions in older cats, which might be diagnosed concurrently or develop at different times. Hyperthyroidism may mask the presence of chronic kidney disea... Read More about Feline Comorbidities: Balancing Hyperthyroidism and Concurrent Chronic Kidney Disease.

Risk factors and implications associated with renal mineralization in chronic kidney disease in cats (2022)

Background
Nephrocalcinosis is a pathological feature of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Its pathophysiological implications for cats with CKD are unexplored.

Objectives
Identify nephrocalcinosis risk factors and evaluate its influence on CKD prog... Read More about Risk factors and implications associated with renal mineralization in chronic kidney disease in cats.
