Follow this algorithm to determine if kidney disease is probable and what steps you should take. Sdma is the most accurate way to measure the filtration rate (how much blood is filtered) of the kidneys Which reflects exactly how well they are working Sdma testing is fairly new in the veterinary industry It was launched by idexx laboratories in 2015, with its use in everyday blood testing becoming more common in recent years. Idexx sdma® algorithm ncentration is a reflection of impaired glomerular filtration rate (gfr)
Both primary kidney disease and secondary kidney insults, such as concurrent disease, can cause an elevation in sdma concentration Follow this algorithm to investigate elevated sdma concentrations and determine whether acute, active, or chronic. Monitor kidney function in cats and dogs with idexx sdma testing Find everything you need to use, implement, and order sdma here. Key learning objectives to show why the idexx sdma® test is a more reliable indicator of kidney function than traditional diagnostics To emphasize that clinical information and diagnostic results need to be evaluated together to determine if acute kidney injury (aki) or chronic kidney disease (ckd) is present.
