Confirmation of the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease will be discussed and the concept of staging CKD according to the IRIS scheme will be reviewed.  Factors operative in the progressive loss of renal functions will be provided. New information on the use of SDMA as a surrogate for GFR will be reviewed. “Kidney-friendly” diets extend the life of both dogs and cats.  Dietary treatment will emphasize the role for dietary phosphorus restriction.  Adverse effects of too much protein restriction will be noted. The importance for the use of oral intestinal phosphorus binders will be emphasized in the quest to achieve a targeted level of total body phosphorus control based on serum Pi in the middle part of the reference range.
