Risk factors associated with disturbances of calcium homeostasis after initiation of a phosphate-restricted diet in cats with chronic kidney disease (2020)
Journal Article
Jepson, R., Elliott, J., Geddes, R., Chang, Y., & Tang, P. (2020). Risk factors associated with disturbances of calcium homeostasis after initiation of a phosphate-restricted diet in cats with chronic kidney disease. Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvim.15996

Background Dietary phosphate restriction improves survival in cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, feeding a phosphate‐restricted diet may disrupt calcium homeostasis leading to hypercalcemia in some cats. Objectives To identify...

Investigation of the transforming growth factor-beta 1 signalling pathway as a possible link between hyperphosphataemia and renal fibrosis in feline chronic kidney disease (2020)
Journal Article
Lawson, J., Syme, H., Wheeler-Jones, C., & Elliott, J. (2020). Investigation of the transforming growth factor-beta 1 signalling pathway as a possible link between hyperphosphataemia and renal fibrosis in feline chronic kidney disease. The Veterinary Journal, 267, 105582. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2020.105582

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common in geriatric cats, and is characterised in the majority of cases by tubulointerstitial inflammation and fibrosis. Hyperphosphataemia is a frequent complication of CKD and is independently associated with severit...

The new age of renal biomarkers: does SDMA solve all of our problems? (2020)
Journal Article
Sargent, H. J., Elliott, J., & Jepson, R. E. (2020). The new age of renal biomarkers: does SDMA solve all of our problems?. Journal of Small Animal Practice, https://doi.org/10.1111/jsap.13236

Within clinical small animal practice, diagnosis of both chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury is common. To assess renal function, measurement of glomerular filtration rate is considered the gold standard. Currently, routine tests of kidney...

A review of phosphorus homeostasis and the impact of different types and amounts of dietary phosphate on metabolism and renal health in cats (2020)
Journal Article
Laflamme, D., Backus, R., Brown, S., Butterwick, R., Czarnecki‐Maulden, G., Elliott, J., …Polzin, D. (2020). A review of phosphorus homeostasis and the impact of different types and amounts of dietary phosphate on metabolism and renal health in cats. Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, https://doi.org/10.1111/jvim.15961

Elevated concentrations of serum phosphate are linked with progression and increased case fatality rate in animals and humans with chronic kidney disease. Elevated concentrations of serum phosphate can be a risk factor for development of renal and ca...

An artificial neural network‐based model to predict chronic kidney disease in aged cats (2020)
Journal Article
Biourge, V., Delmotte, S., Feugier, A., Bradley, R., McAllister, M., & Elliott, J. (2020). An artificial neural network‐based model to predict chronic kidney disease in aged cats. Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 34(5), 1920-1931

Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently causes death in older cats; its early detection is challenging. Objectives To build a sensitive and specific model for early prediction of CKD in cats using artificial neural network (ANN) t...

Population Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics Modeling of Torasemide and Furosemide After Oral Repeated Administration in Healthy Dogs (2020)
Journal Article
Pelligand, L., Guillot, E., Geneteau, A., Guyonnet, J., Magnier, R., Elliott, J., …Jacobs, M. (2020). Population Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics Modeling of Torasemide and Furosemide After Oral Repeated Administration in Healthy Dogs. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 7, https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2020.00151

Torasemide is a loop diuretic licensed in dogs for cardiogenic pulmonary oedema. The aim of this pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) study was to define an optimally effective dosage regimen based on preclinical data. In a first study, 5 dogs rec...

There is a growing body of experimental and clinical evidence supporting mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) activation as a powerful mediator of renal damage in laboratory animals and humans. Multiple pathophysiological mechanisms are proposed, with the...
