The disease is '''progressive''' and gradually more nephrons fail to function and fibrose. Eventually the cat will succumb to the disease, with the progression of clinical signs and a drop in the quality of life. However with appropriate management it may be several years before this occurs. '''Prognosis''' is clearly directly '''correlated to the stage of renal failure''', with a worse stage indicating a poorer prognosis and shorter survival time. | The disease is '''progressive''' and gradually more nephrons fail to function and fibrose.
