People who suffer from acute kidney injury (AKI), a sudden loss of kidney function, are more likely to die prematurely after leaving the hospital even after their kidney function has recovered, according to a study conducted by researchers with the Center for Health Quality, Outcomes, and Economic Research. The data will be published in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN).
Each year, more than 13 million patients suffer from acute kidney injury, of which more than 30 percent die. The prevalence of kidney injury has risen to epidemic proportions. Over the past 60 years, little progress has been made to improve the statistics of this condition. But Denmark-based company BioPorto Diagnostics has developed a groundbreaking test called NGAL that can diagnose acute kidney injury early, adding valuable time for doctors to take proactive steps at an early stage that will prevent kidney injury from turning into the very dangerous state of kidney failure.
