The mission of IRIS is to help veterinary practitioners better diagnose, understand and treat kidney disease in cats and dogs. We hope you find this site useful and informative. IRIS Staging of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) - including algorithms. IRIS Treatment Recommendations for CKD.
One of the organization's primary objectives is to establish an internationally recognized set of guidelines on the diagnosis and assessment of renal disease in small animals (IRIS Staging of Chronic Kidney Disease, CKD).
Staging of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is undertaken following the diagnosis of CKD in order to facilitate appropriate treatment and monitoring of the patient. Staging is based initially on fasting blood creatinine, assessed on at least two occasions in the stable patient.
IRIS Treatment Recommendations for CKD. All treatments for chronic kidney disease (CKD) need to be tailored to the individual patient. The following recommendations are useful starting points for the majority of animals at each stage.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is diagnosed based on evaluation of all available clinical and diagnostic information in a stable patient. Following diagnosis of CKD, the IRIS Board recommends using serum creatinine or SDMA (ideally both) to stage CKD with substaging based on assessment of arterial blood pressure and proteinuria. Diagnosing, Staging,
La enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) se diagnostica a partir de la evaluación de toda la información clínica y diagnóstica en un paciente estable. Tras el diagnóstico de la ERC, el Consejo de la IRIS recomienda utilizar la creatinina sérica o la SDMA (lo idóneo es ambas) para estadificar la ERC con una subestadificación basada
IRIS was created to advance the scientific understanding of kidney disease in small animals. It was originally organized at the 8th Annual Congress of the European Society of Veterinary Internal Medicine in Vienna, Austria, in 1998, with the support of Novartis Animal Health acquired by Elanco Animal Health, a Division of Eli Lilly and Company, ...
If serum or plasma SDMA is persistently >18 μg/dl in a cat whose creatinine is <1.6 mg/dl (IRIS CKD stage 1 based on creatinine), this feline patient should be staged and treated as an IRIS CKD Stage 2 patient.

The current terminology of the disease, as suggested by the International Renal Interest Society (IRIS), is “chronic kidney disease” and it is classified into four stages (see below) to guide therapeutic guidelines and predict the prognosis.
