What is the sdma test for? if values are elevated, meaning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SDMA: As I understand it, The symmetric dimethylarginine test is a very specific measure of kidney function and if it is elevated it points to kidney pathology and should lead to other tests to determine the type of kidney disorder. A nephrologist is best qualified to answer your question and advise you.
