Notas: Renal diseases in cats are a common pathology to be seen in small animal clinics, and it is of great importance in the field of Emergencies. This project will try to give a clear and practical perspective about the most frequent renal diseases to be found in emergency situations, which most of the time require swift action to be taken, and a rapid diagnosis to be made right after. In order to do this, this project was based on a study that took approximately 6 months of work in the veterinary hospital for emergencies Emvet (Zaragoza, Spain). Both obstructive and non-obstructive renal diseases will be taken into consideration in this project, as well as all the possible origins they might be associated with: pre-renal, renal, and post-renal. In practice, the difference between a chronic and an acute renal disease patient is often hard to tell. Chronic not yet diagnosed patients might see their illness develop acute renal syndrome; and, on the contrary, an acute patient of this illness could just as well develop a subsequent chronic renal disease. In order to face this problem, it is necessary to carry out the convenient tests which may help us in getting to know our patient’s lesion better. One of the most important parameters to diagnose renal diseases is the level of creatinine in blood, which has a strong correlation with the glomerular filtration rate (GFT). Nevertheless, this indicator has some disadvantages and it might complicate the diagnosis. There is a new biomarker, the symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), developed by Idexx laboratories, which was first marketed in June 2015. It has been tried as a predictive parameter, able to detect kidney failure faster and more accuratly than creatinine. The aim of this research is to evaluate SDMA levels in emergency renal patients at different levels (pre-renal, renal and post-renal), and compare the results with creatinine levels under the same conditions.
