Feline chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most common diseases in elderly cats. Researchers at Colorado State University are dedicated to exploring more about this disease and improving the lives of affected cats. The CKD research program is spearheaded by Dr. Michael Lappin, director of the Center for Companion Animal Studies, and Dr. Stacie Summers, ACVIM Diplomate and PhD candidate researching causes, diagnostic procedures, and treatments of CKD in cats.
