BackgroundFibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a phosphaturic hormone that is increased in azotemic cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and predictive of the onset of azotemia in older cats. The introduction of symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) as a biomarker of glomerular filtration rate has led to the identification of cats in which SDMA is increased, but plasma creatinine concentrations remains within reference range. There is currently little understanding of the metabolic changes present in such cats.ObjectivesTo examine the relationship between plasma FGF23 and SDMA concentrations in non‐azotemic geriatric cats.AnimalsRecords of a cross section of client‐owned cats (n = 143) without azotemic CKD.MethodsClinicopathological information was obtained from cats (≥ 9 years) from records of 2 first opinion practices. The relationship between plasma SDMA and FGF23 concentrations was examined using Spearman's correlation and variables compared using the Mann‐WhitneyUtest.ResultsCats with increased SDMA concentrations had significantly higher plasma FGF23 (P< .001) and creatinine (P< .001) concentrations compared to cats with SDMA concentrations within reference range. A weak positive relationship was demonstrated between plasma FGF23 and SDMA concentrations (r= .35,P< .001) and between plasma FGF23 and creatinine (r= .23,P= .005) concentrations.Conclusions and Clinical ImportanceMore 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.
