It would be interesting for example if data on SDMA versus pet's age were known, and also how long it takes for the disease to progress from say 40% to the horrible 75% kidney function loss. (These data could be buried in the 27 publications though?) It is amazing that the dog can appear healthy with such a large percentage if its kidney function lost.

This is why I do minimum once/year blood work. The blood work is usually the first clue you have that something is going on. And, if treated early, many illnesses and conditions respond better to treatment.
