Published Real World Evidence Demonstrates KidneyIntelX™ Improved Clinical Decisions and ...
Renalytix plc (NASDAQ: RNLX) (LSE: RENX) announces the publication of new real-world evidence (RWE) in Primary Care and Community Health demonstrating the Company’s KidneyIntelX bioprognostic™ test resulted in changed clinical decision making for patients in the early-stage of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) being cared for within the Mount Sinai Health System’s Population Health Ambulatory Pharmacy and Condition Management programs. The majority of patients were being treated by their primary care physician
Risk scoring by KidneyIntelX resulted in a 4.5-fold increase in new drug prescriptions (for SGLT2 inhibitors) for high risk compared to low risk patients, an observed reduction of HbA1c levels in the highest risk patients, an overall increased use of antihypertensive therapeutics, and an observed early reduction in albumin to creatine ratio levels in the low and intermediate risk groups.
KidneyIntelX risk assessment was incorporated into Mount Sinai Health System’s Ambulatory Care Pathway and its Population Health Ambulatory Pharmacy and Condition Management programs for 1,686 patients with early stage diabetic kidney disease seen by 75 providers at 20 clinical sites, the majority at primary care.
LONDON and SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Renalytix plc (NASDAQ: RNLX) (LSE: RENX) announces the publication of new real-world evidence (RWE) in Primary Care and Community Health demonstrating the Company’s KidneyIntelX bioprognostic™ test resulted in changed clinical decision making for patients in the early-stage of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) being cared for within the Mount Sinai Health System’s Population Health Ambulatory Pharmacy and Condition Management programs. The majority of patients were being treated by their primary care physician.
Prediction of risk for kidney disease progression in early-stage DKD is often not assessed at the primary care level, resulting in more than 50,000 individuals per year with diabetes progressing to kidney failure, dialysis or a kidney transplant. By integrating an easily interpretable, accurate prognostic tool that assigns a risk score for progressive decline in kidney function, KidneyIntelX enables providers to act earlier to slow or stop the progression to kidney failure.
