IDEXX CE Event: Kidney Health is Total Health

Kidney Health is Total Health

6:00 PM: Registration and Cocktails

7:00 PM: Dinner and Presentation

The talk is focused on kidney health in canine and feline patients: The important

function kidneys play and how to assess overall kidney health including

recognizing the differences acute kidney injury versus chronic kidney disease.

SDMA has become widely accepted as an early functional biomarker for chronic

kidney disease in pets. However, new data show that a single mild increase in

SDMA can be a medical turning point. the talk discusses the role SDMA plays in

5 key patient profiles, and how trending of results can offer preemptive

opportunities to address potential changes in kidney function earlier than

traditional functional biomarkers.
