Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a debilitating disease for cats, leading to severe consequences on the animal health.

Moreover, it takes also a toll on the mental fitness of owners, who often feel shocked and unprepared to deal with the condition.

A large body of research has been collected on the topic, and in this week’s edition Jonathan Elliot and colleagues bring to the point the role of FGF23, a growth factor produced by Osteocytes.

This underlines once again the role that studying and modelling diseases with a multi-organ approach has in understanding the disease itself.

And of course, in finding diagnostic and therapeutic solutions as well.
