Stem Cell Trial for CKD

This is exciting, especially for those with an otherwise healthy civvie with CKD and you live in the right location.

That's great! Too bad cats with FD are excluded, but wonderful just the same that they're doing the study!

 

That would be amazing if it worked. Too bad I am not in Kansas.

 

Is great to see that this kind of research is being done Hopefully something good will come out of it

 

I live about an hour away from K-State and I tried to get my newly diagnosed stage 2 CKD civvie enrolled, but he was excluded because he has asthma and has need of steroids for treatment from time to time. He is currently only on inhaled steroids and I hope to never have to use other types of steroids, but his asthma is pretty bad so it's possible.

My vet, who graduated from K-State, was glad to see this research study because she said that the total amount of feline research really lags far behind the amount of research done for dogs.
