- Nuovi biomarcatori migliorano la valutazione del rischio di lesioni renali acute

LISBONA, Portogallo, 15 ottobre 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Astute Medical, Inc. ha annunciato oggi di aver completato la certificazione del marchio CE per il suo primo prodotto, il test NephroCheck™, e l'inizio delle sue vendite. Il test NephroCheck™ utilizza due biomarcatori urinari recentemente convalidati per la valutazione del rischio di lesioni renali acute (Acute Kidney Injury, AKI) in pazienti affetti da malattia critica. Il test NephroCheck™ non è disponibile per la vendita negli Stati Uniti.

AKI è una condizione complessa e con prevalenza crescente, associata a mortalità elevata in pazienti affetti da malattia critica. Sebbene si manifesti rapidamente (nel giro di ore), la valutazione del rischio è di solito difficile dal momento che gli strumenti attualmente disponibili per i medici sono inadeguati. Il mancato riconoscimento e trattamento dell'AKI nelle prime fasi può comportare esiti devastanti per i pazienti e costi aumentati per il sistema sanitario.  

Chris Hibberd, Amministratore Delegato di Astute Medical, ha dichiarato: "Le lesioni renali acute sono comuni, con una prevalenza simile all'attacco cardiaco, e possono comportare costi significativi per gli ospedali. La nostra ricerca suggerisce che i medici dei reparti di terapia intensiva ed i nefrologi desiderano avere strumenti che possano essere utilizzati in combinazione con le linee guida esistenti per migliorare sia il trattamento dei pazienti, sia le loro possibilità di ripresa".

Il test NephroCheck™ valuta il rischio di pazienti affetti da malattia critica che potrebbero sviluppare lesioni renali acute. Fornendo i risultati in circa 20 minuti, il test aiuta i medici a gestire i pazienti affetti da malattia critica o a rischio di AKI. Il test si esegue su un campione di urina; controlli a più livelli assicurano risultati affidabili e precisi.

I laboratori degli ospedali  di grandi e piccole dimensioni possono facilmente utilizzare il nuovo strumento di valutazione del rischio. Il test di immunodosaggio si esegue utilizzando una piccola cartuccia mono uso NephroCheck™ e una piattaforma compatta, il misuratore Astute140™.

Questa piattaforma di semplice utilizzo converte i segnali fluorescenti di ogni nuovo biomarcatore specifico in concentrazioni, combinandole in un unico risultato numerico del test.

Astute Medical ha completato la certificazione del marchio CE per il misuratore Astute140™. Il misuratore Astute140™ non è disponibile per la vendita negli Stati Uniti.  

Informazioni sulle lesioni renali acute
AKI interessa fino al 7% dei pazienti ospedalizzati. Con più di 36 milioni di ricoveri annui negli ospedali statunitensi,[i] ben più di un milione di pazienti è colpito da AKI ogni anno. AKI spesso si manifesta nei pazienti affetti da malattia critica e può avere molte cause, quali sepsi, interventi chirurgici importanti e farmaci nefrotossici.

Nella maggior parte dei casi AKI si sviluppa senza sintomi evidenti. Sebbene i pazienti affetti da AKI spesso abbiano una diminuzione della diuresi, non si tratta di un segno sempre presente in tali pazienti, né è un sintomo specifico dell'AKI. Quando presente, esso può svilupparsi dopo ore o giorni dalla manifestazione delle lesioni renali.

Si stima che ogni anno AKI costituisca un importante fattore in oltre 1 milione di ospedalizzazioni negli Stati Uniti, il che comporta un aumento dei costi di circa 10 miliardi di dollari per il sistema sanitario.[ii] Associazione mediche leader, quali la Kidney Disease Global Outcomes Foundation, ritengono che il migliore trattamento dell'AKI debba essere coerente all'obbiettivo di migliorare gli esiti dei pazienti a breve e a lungo termine.
