KidneyIntelX™ to predict major adverse kidney events in COVID-19 patients
April 30, 2020
Renalytix AI plc (LSE: RENX), the AIM-traded developer of clinical grade artificial intelligence in vitro diagnostics for kidney disease, announces that the KidneyIntelX™ platform will be used by investigators from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to assess the risk of adverse kidney events in patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Acute and chronic kidney disease is strongly associated with severity of disease and fatal outcomes in COVID-19 patients. Evaluation of a patient’s kidney risk status at the time of COVID-19 diagnosis, through recovery and during follow-on monitoring, can be of potentially high clinical value.
The KidneyIntelX platform will be used in a large study of COVID-19 admitted patients at Mount Sinai called “Pred-MAKER” (Prediction of Major Adverse Kidney Events and Recovery). Pred-MAKER will study clinical features and biomarkers, including multiple plasma biomarkers and urine proteomics and RNA sequences, as predictors of major adverse kidney events in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. The study has been submitted for Institutional Review Board (IRB) review and approval.
