description This paper seeks to compile updated aspects related to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) both in geriatric canines and cats. Worldwide this disease affects 0.5–1.5% of canines and 1–3% of cats, with mortality rates of 5% and 3%, respectively. The literature review provides updated information on different aspects of the pathology. CKD affects canines and cats mainly of advanced age and is characterized by renal hypofunction, which, over time, leads to persistent abnormalities, mostly irreversible (azotemia and inability to concentrate urine), generating in the patient a multisystem toxic syndrome that besides altering the efficiency of the kidneys, affects other systems in an integrated manner. Unlike human medicine, current tools for diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control for CKD in canines and cats are limited due to their elevated costs and the difficulty acquiring specialized equipment; this situation prevents patients from receiving procedures that can benefit their quality of life.

El artículo compila aspectos actuales de la Enfermedad Renal Crónica (ERC) en caninos y felinos geriátricos, cuya prevalencia a nivel mundial está entre el 0.5 % y el 1.5 % en caninos y el 1 % y 3 % en felinos, con mortalidades del 5 % y el 3 %, respectivamente. La revisión literaria proporciona información actualizada sobre diferentes aspectos de la patología. La ERC afecta a caninos y felinos principalmente de edad avanzada y se caracteriza por la hipofunción renal, que, en su progresión en el tiempo, lleva a anormalidades persistentes en su mayoría irreversibles (azotemia e incapacidad para concentrar la orina), generando en el paciente un síndrome tóxico polisistémico que no solamente altera la eficacia de los riñones en cuanto a su función, sino también, de manera integrada, otros sistemas. A diferencia de la medicina humana, en la actualidad las herramientas para el diagnóstico, tratamiento, prevención y control de la ERC en caninos y felinos son de acceso limitado, por los altos costos y la difícil adquisición, generando restricciones para realizarles a los pacientes los procedimientos que signifiquen beneficios en su calidad de vida.
