VIDAS® NEPHROCLEAR Reference Interval Study

The VIDAS® NEPHROCLEAR™ CCL14 Test is intended to be used in conjunction with clinical evaluation, in ICU patients with moderate to severe (stage 2 or 3) acute kidney injury (AKI), as an aid in the risk assessment for developing persistent severe AKI (stage 3 AKI lasting ≥ 72 hours) within 48 hours of patient assessment.

The VIDAS® NEPHROCLEAR™ CCL14 Test is intended to be used in patients 21 years of age or older.

The objective of this study is to determine the reference range for CCL14 concentration in Apparently Healthy Adults and Adults with Chronic, Stable Morbidities

• Diagnostic Test: VIDAS® NEPHROCLEAR™ CCL14 Test (Device): Previously collected urine samples will be tested using the VIDAS® NEPHROCLEAR™ CCL14 Test

Primary outcomes

• CCL14 concentration in urine [Samples tested within 2 years of collection]: CCL14 concentration will be measured using the VIDAS Necphroclear CCL14 Assay

Sex: All, ages: 21 Years to any, accepts healthy volunteers

* For Cohort B subjects in the AST-017 Study:
* Subjects were considered to have the above condition(s) if he/she had the diagnosis by a healthcare professional and/or was under treatment by a healthcare professional for the listed condition(s).
* Subjects with a condition (e.g., hypertension, hypercholesterolemia) controlled by medications were enrolled.
* To be considered chronic and stable, the condition(s) must have been present for at least 1 year and without any acute change (decompensation or improvement) within the 3 months prior to enrollment.
