Websites are giving it credit for doing a LOT of stuff it absolutely cannot do. It’s a lot of “fine print” stuff like saying: “Epakitin and a kidney-sparing diet can reduce phosphate levels and reduce BUN and creatinine values”.  WITHOUT specifying that Epakitin will not effect nitrogen levels at all. It’s the diet that will do that. Still, it can be argued that cats and dogs “feel better” with lower Phosphorus levels. And, it’s mirrored in the improvements you see when you give sodium bicarbonate.
