Impaired Renal Function and Body Temperature in Felines

There is no direct evidence in the provided studies to suggest that impaired renal function affects body temperature in felines.

  • The studies focus on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in cats, but do not mention body temperature as a factor or consequence of impaired renal function 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
  • The studies discuss various complications and clinical signs associated with CKD in cats, such as metabolic acidosis, systemic hypertension, and anemia, but body temperature is not mentioned as a relevant factor 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
  • Overall, the available evidence does not provide a clear answer to the question of whether impaired renal function affects body temperature in felines, suggesting that further research may be needed to investigate this specific topic.
