Timepoints at which sCr, SDMA, and GFR identified decreased renal function were compared using defined cutoffs, trending in an individual dog, and comparison with unaffected littermates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Symmetric dimethylarginine was highly stable in serum and plasma, and the assay demonstrated excellent analytical performance. In unaffected dogs, SDMA remained unchanged whereas in affected dogs, SDMA increased during disease progression, correlating strongly with an increase in sCr (r\u00a0=\u00a00.95) and decrease in GFR (r\u00a0=\u00a0\u22120.95). Although trending improved sCr's sensitivity, SDMA identified, on average, &amp;lt;20% decrease in GFR, which was earlier than sCr using any comparison method.<\/jats:p>\n
