Does my senior cat's bloodwork show kidney issues? What about diet?

Question

Hello, does my 13 y/o cat's bloodwork indicate kidney problems? Please see attachment. He is on methimazole and prednisolone for hyperthyroid and bronchitis. Also, would he benefit from canned sardines in water without add salt? Thank you! Pet's info: Cat | Korat | Male | neutered | 13 years and 4 months old | 9.6 lbs

From what the blood results are showing your cat is not having any important renal issue at this stage. Hyperthyroidism is well controlled as well. It will be good anyway to keep monitoring renal parameters (Urea and Crea) but adding also the so called SDMA which can indicate early stage renal failure (more sensitive than the other two). I think is a good idea to increase anyway the amount of wet food he is having, and if he likes sardines, of course that is a good option. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
