What Is Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in Cats?
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of the most common health conditions affecting cats, particularly as they age. The kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste products from the blood, regulating hydration, and maintaining overall body balance. When kidney function declines, waste products — known as uraemic toxins — can build up in the body, leading to a range of health issues.
Signs of CKD in cats can include increased thirst and urination, weight loss, reduced appetite, lethargy, and vomiting. If you notice any of these signs, it's important to consult your veterinarian as early as possible.
How Does Porus One Help Cats with CKD?
Porus One by Dechra is a daily kidney health support supplement specifically formulated for cats. It contains Renaltec™, a selective carbon-based adsorber that works in the intestinal tract to bind protein by-products before they are converted into uraemic toxins.
In healthy cats, the kidneys efficiently process and remove these waste products. In cats with reduced kidney function, this process is impaired. Porus One helps support the body by reducing the load of uraemic toxin precursors — complementing veterinary care and a kidney-supportive diet.

How to Use Porus One
