Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is decreased in advanced, as compared to mild, degenerative mitral valve disease (DMVD) in dogs.1 This decrease in GFR is associated with azotemia, which increases in prevalence with heart failure (HF) class (up to 71% in New York Heart Association [NYHA] class IV).1 The most frequent cause of azotemia is abnormally high urea and not creatinine concentrations.
