Depending on the results there is medication available, but would also be worth changing the diet onto a lower protein/phosphorous as this will help the kidneys too.

you'd be surprised some of them do it so they can make more money from the insurance cause they're horrible and some do it because the feel its unfair for the pet and want the best care so they re-word things for cover.
