More cats with increased SDMA concentrations had higher FGF23 concentrations than those with SDMA concentrations within the reference range, suggesting the presence of an alteration in phosphate homeostasis. Further studies are warranted to identify influencing factors and to explore the utility of FGF23 concentration to inform management of cats with early stage CKD.
