Abstract

The pathomechanisms implicated in diabetic kidney disease in people are present in dogs and cats and, in theory, could lead to renal complications in companion animals with long-standing diabetes mellitus. However, these renal complications develop during a long period, and there is little to no clinical evidence that they could lead to chronic kidney disease in companion animals.

Keywords: Companion animals; Diabetes mellitus; Diabetic kidney disease; Diabetic nephropathy.
