TL;DR: The Consensus Statement is intended to be a guide for veterinarians, but it is not a statement of standard of care or a substitute for clinical judgment.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the pet food-associated renal failure outbreaks in 2004 and 2007 share identical clinical, histologic, and toxicologic findings, providing compelling evidence that they share the same causation.

TL;DR: Urine testing that will detect proteinuria should be a component of the clinical evaluations of dogs and cats under all circumstances that prompt their veterinarians to also perform comprehensive hematologic and serum biochemical evaluations.

TL;DR: Because of day-to-day variation in the white-coat effect in individual cats, multiple serial measurements following a standard protocol should provide the best estimate of BP in cats.

TL;DR: Although treatment of diabetic dogs with either lisinopril or TA-3090 results in differential effects on PGC; each produces a similar decrement in proteinuria, combination therapy has a greater effect on proteinuria than either agent alone.
