SPECIALTY CARE
Nephrology & Urology Services
Just like people, dogs and cats can develop a variety of conditions affecting their kidneys and lower urinary tract. At Kin, we're fortunate to have one of the few veterinarians in Colorado with advanced training in nephrology and urology, bringing specialized expertise to the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.
Nephrology & Urology
Focused kidney and
urinary care.
Nephrology and urology services address complex medical and obstructive conditions across the urinary system.
Our team combines advanced diagnostics, medical management, and minimally invasive or surgical options to create a coordinated plan for each patient.

Surgical care tailored
to your pet.
Treatment depends on the location and cause of disease, kidney function, diagnostic findings, and the patient’s overall health.
Kidney Disease Management
Evaluation and ongoing care for acute and chronic kidney conditions.
Ureteral Obstruction
Diagnosis and treatment of blocked ureters, including advanced bypass options when appropriate.
Lower Urinary Tract Disease

Subcutaneous Ureteral Bypass
Placement and long-term management of SUB devices for select feline ureteral obstructions.
When to See a Nephrology or Urology Specialist
Know when a closer look may help.
Specialty evaluation may be recommended when kidney function is abnormal, urinary symptoms persist, or imaging suggests an obstruction or structural problem.
Reasons for a nephrology and urology consultation:
- Abnormal kidney values or reduced kidney function
- Difficulty urinating or blood in the urine
- Recurrent urinary infections or stones
- A suspected ureteral or urethral obstruction
- A complex condition requiring advanced intervention
