SDMA
SDMA (symmetric dimethylargine) is an early marker of kidney disease. Measuring this parameter in animals suspected of having chronic kidney disease (CKD) or in animals with a confirmed diagnosis has several advantages over creatinine.
Olga Semenova, a nephrologist at the Vet Union veterinary clinic network, will discuss the advantages of SDMA testing in animals, the interpretation of the results, and the protocol for examining patients with reduced glomerular filtration rate.
