SD (Symmetric Dimethylarginine) is a biological marker used to assess kidney function in dogs and cats.
Function: SDMA is an amino acid that is formed in the body and eliminated by the kidneys. SDMA levels rise when kidney function declines, making it a useful indicator for detecting kidney disease.
Sensitivity: The SDMA test can identify kidney dysfunction earlier than traditional tests (such as creatinine levels), giving veterinarians a better opportunity to intervene before serious symptoms appear.
Diagnosis: An elevated SDMA level often indicates kidney damage, testing is RECOMMENDED in addition to other tests, to assess the overall health of the animal and decide on a treatment plan.
Use: SDMA testing is recommended, especially for pets with risk factors such as advanced age or chronic conditions.
Interpretation: Normal and abnormal SDMA values can vary, but an elevated level requires further evaluation
