Abstract
The renal and urinary tract system is vital for the maintenance of electrolyte, acid–base and fluid balance. Possible causes of renal or urinary tract dysfunction range from toxin ingestion to trauma to feline lower urinary tract disease. This chapter addresses common renal and urinary tract emergencies and the approach to their management.
