In this podcast, we talk to Dr Rosanne Jepson, senior lecturer in internal medicine here at the RVC about SDMA (symmetric dimethylarginine). I did not know until the end of this recording that Rosanne published on SDMA back in 2008 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18371026). What is it and how to use it. It seems that there will be lots more coming out about this in the next few years. Enjoy the pod.

0:11.0 | And we don't ask for anything in return, but would really be incredibly grateful if you could pop-down Apple Podcast or iTunes and leave us a review. |
0:18.0 | I know that some people that might have to work out actually how to do that, |
0:26.1 | but it is possible. And if you leave us a five-star review, that would be great. I'm sure there's other reviews that are available, but a five-star one would be great. We're actually on ACAST now as |
0:31.1 | well, finally. So if you have an Android phone, then just download ACAST, and you can find us on that app as well so um so please do |
0:41.5 | leave us a review so today we're going to talk to dr rosan jepson um who's one of our senior |
0:47.7 | lecturers here in internal medicine and she's just had a busy clinical day so we thought we'll uh we'll |
0:52.4 | throw in some some questions questions to her and and when |
0:57.3 | I asked her to come and join us back on the pod I was thinking about talking about SDMA and what's it |
1:04.7 | all about so thank you Roseanne for coming back onto the pod thank you Yes, SDMA. So it's a marker of renal function, |
1:15.9 | which has been available to most of us now for a little while, certainly well over a year, |
1:22.5 | 18 months probably now. And SDMA stands for symmetric dimethyl arginine. So, and in terms of being a |
1:32.6 | marker of renal function, I guess essentially what we're saying is that this is something that we |
1:37.1 | can measure similar to the way that we measure creatinine concentrations, or we have done for many, |
1:43.1 | many decades, that it's going to give |
1:45.3 | us some information about glomerala filtration rate in our patients, for sure. |
1:51.6 | And so it's been recently made available. It's pretty, I suppose, heavily, heavily marketed, |
1:56.5 | or there's a, it seems, a surge in interest even for an outsider like me in medicine. |
2:03.9 | So when do you, you know, when should people be using this marker, do you think? |
2:11.5 | That's a really good question. |
