July 23, 2024—BioPorto Diagnostics will unveil its ProNephro AKI (NGAL) test at ADLM 2024, July 28–Aug. 1, in Chicago. The FDA 510(k)-cleared test is the first acute kidney injury biomarker test cleared for pediatric use (ages 3 months through 21 years) in the United States.
ProNephro AKI (NGAL) is designed to help doctors identify patients at risk of developing or having persistent, moderate-to-severe AKI within 48 to 72 hours in the intensive care unit setting. NGAL is a direct, real-time marker of kidney cell damage and can potentially detect AKI days earlier than serum creatinine. The test is intended for use on the Roche Cobas c 501 clinical chemistry analyzer.
