Animals with renal failure have a number of fairly predictable metabolic abnormalities. They are commonly presented to the veterinarian in a state of negative water balance, although prior fluid therapy in an oliguric patient may result in overhydration. Animals with oliguric ARF have sodium retention; those with polyuric ARF have increased urinary sodium loss. Chronic renal failure does not necessarily affect the ability of the renal tubule to conserve or excrete sodium, although the response to changes in sodium load is much slower than in the normal animal. Potassium retention occurs in oliguric ARF and potassium wasting in polyuric ARF; potassium balance is approximately normal in animals with CRF. Both ARF and CRF cause metabolic acidosis, although the acid-base status in a given animal will be affected by respiratory compensation, as well as other problems such as vomiting. Calcium levels are usually normal to slightly decreased in renal failure, whereas phosphorus levels are generally increased. The basic principles of fluid therapy should be used when constructing a plan for such therapy in an animal with renal failure. Intravenous administration of fluids is almost always necessary. The choice of the type of fluid, solutes, and electrolytes to be administered is based on the predicted abnormalities associated with renal failure as well as the laboratory abnormalities in the animal. Careful monitoring of the patient and periodic assessment of various laboratory parameters are necessary in order to make appropriate adjustments in fluid therapy.

In the study the most common gastroenterological disorders among patients with CRF are reviewed. It was shown two main types of such disorders: as a manifestation of the underlying disease (CKD) or as an associated disease. It was determined that anorexia, nausea, vomiting, constipation, gastrointestinal bleeding, and acute abdominal pain are the most common gastroenterological symptoms. The necessity of further studying of the pathogenetic mechanisms of gastroenterological disorders in the case of presence of CRF and the importance of an integrated approach to the screening and management of patients with CRF was shown.
