Serum symmetric dimethylarginine in older dogs : reference interval and comparison of a gold standard method with the ELISA Ghent University
Background: Serum symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) is used to screen for renal dysfunction in dogs. The gold standard technique for measuring SDMA, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is not widely available. Age-specific reference intervals for SDMA in older dogs are lacking.Objectives: Prospective study in older dogs to validate a commercially available LC-MS/MS method for SDMA, compare SDMA concentrations with ...
