ADMA/SDMA (Asymmetric dimethylarginine/symmetric dimethylarginine)
Elevated ADMA levels are associated with significant subclinical atherosclerosis, while elevated SDMA levels are associated with impaired kidney function and strongly correlate with reduced eGFR.
Test Code: 821413 Cost: $59
TMAO (Trimethylamine N-oxide)
Nutrients abundant in animal-derived products such as red meat, egg yolk and full-fat dairy products are processed by gut bacteria resulting in the release of TMA (trimethylamine) into the blood. TMA is then transported to the liver where it is converted into TMAO (trimethylamine N-oxide) which has been shown to regulate various physiological processes involved in the development of atherosclerosis.
