I think for your situation, the best thing would be to have a diet consult with Dr. Lisa Pierson, who is behind the very informative
www.catinfo.org website. Go to this link and scroll down a bit to find her email address:
http://www.catinfo.org/makingcatfood...he_Ingredients The reason a consult would be good is because she looks at your cat's lab work and helps formulate a diet plan based on that. Many raw diets are too high in phosphorus for kidney cats and she has methods to help reduce that.

Just to clarify, it's raw egg
white that contains avidin, not the egg yolk (which is actually high in biotin). I wouldn't feed egg yolk to a cat with CRF because it's also very high in phosphorus. A much better idea, if your cat will eat it, is to mix some finely chopped
cooked egg white into her food. Egg white is an excellent source of low phosphorus protein.
