Description
Kendra Bufkin and Jeane Silva evaluate a point-of-care card test, the XpressCard, for NGAL, a urine marker of acute kidney injury. Acute kidney injury strikes 2 to 5 percent of hospitalized patients and up to 67 percent of intensive care patients, and it is often found late. NGAL rises as early as two hours before injury, which makes it a leading early flag. Their 2024 study ran urine from 52 adult hospital patients through the card.
The card caught 59.3 percent of true injury cases and cleared 95.8 percent of non-injury cases. A positive card result meant injury in 92.9 percent of such results. A negative result cleared injury in 71.9 percent. High card results also tracked high blood sugar markers tied to diabetes. Fast results at the bedside are the card's main draw.
