Helps liver function in cases of chronic liver failure

Liver failure in cats is the set of diseases that limit the functionality of the liver, which intervenes, among many other functions, in the synthesis of lipoproteins and glycogen, in digestion, as a filter and immunomodulator; it also combines Taurine and Arginine bile acids for the formation of bile salts.

There are as many functions as there are challenges that it faces, both primary and secondary diseases that can impair its functionality; the reserve function and the regeneration capacity of the liver are high, so in an acute process, the probability of recovery is high. In cases of chronic disease, treatment will focus on minimizing and limiting the degenerative process, as well as controlling the foreseeable anemia and/or malnutrition.

The symptoms present in cats with liver disease do not make identification easy, being clearer the more advanced the disease is. In case of suspected liver disease, a wide variety of urine and blood tests, biopsies, and imaging diagnostics will be necessary, which would allow the disease and its causes to be identified and diagnosed.
HI can be primary (feline idiopathic hepatic lipidosis) or secondary to diabetes mellitus, pancreatitis, IBD...
Among the most common diseases that cause chronic liver failure, we find hepatic lipidosis, which is common when the cat stops eating or is subject to very rapid weight loss or anemia. In these cases, a large amount of fatty acids are mobilized towards the liver where they are converted into triglycerides, which, together with malnutrition, can favor the lack of proteins necessary for the synthesis of lipoproteins responsible for getting rid of excess triglycerides. This favors the accumulation in the organ and its uselessness.

As a result of liver failure, we can find serious secondary diseases such as hepatic encephalopathy, about which there is ample information on this subject and which requires adequate nutritional management with protein restriction, high-quality proteins that limit the production of nitrogenous waste, with an adequate volume of carbohydrates that allow a good caloric intake.

In liver diseases, important changes occur in the intestinal flora that influence its development; the ability to modulate the flora, intestinal permeability and immunomodulation are considered important elements in achieving an adequate quality of life. The pharmacological treatment required for the treatment of the disease is also a factor that can modify the balance and that the use of probiotics can correct.
