About Renalytix

 

Renalytix (NASDAQ: RNLX) (LSE: RENX) is the global founder and leader in the
new field of bioprognosis™ for kidney health. The leadership team, with a
combined 200+ years of healthcare and in-vitro diagnostic experience, has
designed its KidneyIntelX technology platform to introduce novel laboratory
developed and FDA approved tests to enable risk assessment and appropriate
care management in adult patients with type 2 diabetes and early-stage CKD. By
gaining early visibility into risk for progressive decline in kidney function,
and an understanding of associated actionable insights, patients and health
care providers may benefit from improved outcomes and decreased costs. For

About KidneyIntelX™

 

KidneyIntelX™ is a laboratory developed test demonstrated to be a reliable,
bioprognostic™ methodology that yields a simple-to-understand, custom risk
score, enabling prediction of which adult patients with T2D and early CKD
(stages 1-3) are at low, intermediate or high risk for rapid progressive
decline in kidney function. By combining information from KidneyIntelX with
newer cardio - and reno-protective therapies, doctors will have more
information in determining which patients are at higher versus lower risk for
rapid disease progression and may be able to more appropriately target
resources and guideline-recommended treatments to advance kidney health.
KidneyIntelX is supported by a growing body of clinical, utility and health
economic studies (including a validation study of two large cohorts) and has
demonstrated a 72% improvement in predicting those patients who are at high
risk for rapid progressive decline in kidney function versus the current
standard of care (eGFR and UACR). KidneyIntelX has received Breakthrough
Device Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Renalytix
has submitted for De Novo marketing authorization. To learn more about
KidneyIntelX and review the evidence, visit www.kidneyintelx.com
