My senior cat has diluted urine. How to prevent kidney disease?

Question

My 11 year old female cat just went through physical. All was well but vet said urine was slightly diluted which might be a symptom of early kidney disease. Blood work was all good and showed no kidney disease. What could be done to prevent this from progressing to kidney disease? She recommended lowering sodium and phosphorus intake. Any other recommendation? Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | spayed | 11 years and 10 months old | 4 lbs

At this point, the diet change is the best thing you can do to attempt to slow the progression of kidney disease. Make sure that Lola is drinking adequate quantities of water, and consider either adding extra water to her food or using a water fountain to encourage additional water consumption. Also be sure to follow up with Lola's vet regularly for an exam, weight check and blood testing to monitor her for any changes. I hope this helps and that all goes well!
