Abstract

Kidney disease is commonly found in small animal clinics, but its diagnosis is often late. The research to find sensitive renal biomarkers has been performed in order to provide an early diagnosis allowing appropriate therapy for each patient, as well as improving his quality of life. The renal biomarker  Symmetric Dimethylarginine (SDMA) is presenting perspectives for the diagnosis of kidney disease in dogs and cats, detecting kidney damage when 50% of its function is compromised. This paper performs a review of the use of dimethyartinine in the diagnosis of kidney disease in these animals.
