Assessment of alendronate and dietary treatment in the management of feline idiopathic hypercalcaemia
A similar reduction in serum ionized calcium concentration was observed in cats with ionized hypercalcemia treated with diet alone and in cats treated with diet and alendronate
This retrospective cohort multicentre study aimed to characterize the signalment, clinicopathologic data, complications and the association between treatment and outcome (the reduction in ionized calcium concentration) in cats with idiopathic or chronic kidney disease-associated ionized hypercalcemia managed with alendronate and standard treatment or standard treatment alone, and to compare the outcome between the two groups.
Medical records for cats diagnosed with idiopathic or chronic kidney disease-associated ionized hypercalcemia were retrospectively reviewed. Cats treated with alendronate and standard treatment were assigned to the alendronate group and cats treated with standard treatment alone were assigned to the control group. The standard treatment was ...
