Utility Study Indicates KidneyIntelX Risk Assessment can Address Treatment Ambiguity in Primary Care
Clinicians affirm need for accurate early-stage diabetic kidney disease risk assessment to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs
In this qualitative study involving 16 primary care physicians, 100% of clinician study participants confirmed that early-stage kidney risk assessment, like that provided by KidneyIntelX, will help to address suboptimal therapy, which can lead to rapid progression, increased hospital admissions, emergency room visits, potential kidney failure, need for dialysis, decreased quality of life, and increased costs.

"At NKF we are fueled with urgency to significantly improve the long-term outcomes that restore full lives for people living with kidney diseases. We encourage PCPs embrace the ability to manage kidney disease risk early to protect their patient's kidney health."
In the study, 94% of PCP participants found that kidney disease was difficult to manage in their type 2 diabetes patients. Accurate risk stratification is a critical unmet need and can lead to delays in effective, early interventions.
The study was based on qualitative interviews with sixteen PCPs treating DKD patients. Participating PCPs specialized in internal medicine or family medicine and worked across the major settings of care in the

About KidneyIntelX
KidneyIntelX, is a first-of-kind, bioprognosticTM platform that employs a proprietary artificial intelligence-enabled algorithm to combine diverse data inputs, including validated blood-based biomarkers, inherited genetics, and personalized patient data from electronic health record, or EHR, systems, to generate a unique patient risk score. This patient risk score enables prediction of progressive kidney function decline in chronic kidney disease, or CKD, allowing physicians and healthcare systems to optimize the allocation of treatments and clinical resources to patients at highest risk.
