Virbac, maker of Pronefra for the management of CKD in cats and dogs, has launched a free app to help interpret patients' urine test results in line with the latest International Renal Interest Society (IRIS) Guidelines.
The app, which is also called Pronefra, is available for download on both the Play store and Apple store.
Simon Boulton MRCVS, Marketing Manager for Companion Animals, said: "Reference ranges supplied by machines and labs are not always appropriate for the renal patient so we wanted to help practices to interpret kidney-specific results quickly and easily in line with the latest recommendations. The Pronefra app was the result. We have received very positive feedback on the app so far and hope it will help practices improve the quality and length of life of their renal patients."
Virbac is also providing further Pronefra practice support materials, include a pet health recording book for clients to aid in compliance and other educational tools for vets, nurses and clients.

OK, not a bad suggestion. However, and since most of us work with PAS in our consult rooms, a website address would'be been much more useful. Nowadays, PHP for example let you make these easy calculations using your browser, on occasions even without Internet connection. Here's an example: www.sierra banana.com/vetdose
Bl**dy autocorrect, I meant PC not PAS. And it shouldn't b a space between 'sierra' and 'banana'
