After a complete blood and urine test my female cat doesn't have the onset of kidney disease as I was initially told at the beginning. The only thing elevated on the test was the creatnine. What is it and how to reduce? Cod liver oil and dhea will be given on a daily basis as a supplement.

Thanks,

Mike

Createnine is a breakdown product from muscle that is eliminated through the kidneys. It is created at a pretty constant rate, so any rise in its blood concentration is due to its failure to be eliminated by the kidneys; thus it is used as a measure of kidney function. As kidney function improves, blood createnine levels decrease. What you are doing should help that.
