12-LB: Clinical Impact of Risk Profiling with KidneyIntelX on DKD Progression in a Large Integrated Health Care System

KidneyIntelXTM combines 3 plasma biomarkers with clinical variables to categorize adults with DKD stages 1-3b for risk of a progressive decline in kidney function over 5 years. We previously demonstrated that using KidneyIntelX to assess risk and guide treatment does lead to optimized medication use, lifestyle changes, and specialist referrals. We now report the one-year pre and posttest clinical impact on eGFR slope and hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) in the Mount Sinai Health System. Among the 1087 patients with follow-up data, the median age was 69 years, 52% were women, 32% self-identified Black, baseline eGFR 59 ml/min/1.73m2, baseline HbA1c was 7.2%, and 146 (13%), 439 (40%), and 502 (46%) were scored as high, intermediate, and low risk by KidneyIntelX. In high-risk patients, median eGFR slope slowed from -5.7 ml/min/year pre-test to -2.1 ml/min/year post-test (p
