How can the NephroCheck® Test help patients avoid consequences of AKI?
Drs. Harold Szerlip, Peter McCullough and Jeffery Vender explain the importance of identifying, stratifying and mitigating a patient’s risk of acute kidney injury, a condition that can result in severe consequences.
The Danger of Delayed
AKI Recognition
About one-third of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury cases are avoidable, and more than half are subject to inadequate risk assessment.3 Delays in recognizing AKI can lead to irreversible injury4 and raise mortality rates along with hospital expenses.5
The Foundation of Early
Risk Assessment
We analyzed more than 300 biomarkers.6 Two were identified for helping physicians assess a patient’s risk of developing moderate to severe acute kidney injury in the next 12 hours.
