Diagnostic accuracy of symmetric dimethylarginine for chronic kidney disease in cats and dogs: A systematic review
Significant uncertainty remains regarding the diagnostic accuracy of SDMA in CKD in cats and dogs. Well-designed diagnostic accuracy trials in clinically relevant populations with optimised reference standards and thresholds are needed. The use of SDMA may increase the risk of misdiagnosis and overdiagnosis of CKD.
