The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the ProNephro AKI™ (NGAL) test for identifying critically ill adults at risk of developing moderate to severe acute kidney injury (KDIGO Stage 2/3) within 48 to 72 hours of ICU admission. The study will assess how accurately the test predicts acute kidney injury by evaluating its sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. Participants will provide blood and urine samples for testing.

ProNephro AKI™ (NGAL) is an immunoassay for the in vitro quantitative determination of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in human urine.
Sensitivity of the ProNephro AKI™ Urinary NGAL Test at the 172 ng/mL Cut-off
Percentage of evaluable participants with independently adjudicated KDIGO Stage 2 or Stage 3 acute kidney injury at 48 to 72 hours who have a T0 urinary NGAL concentration of 172 ng/mL or greater, as measured using the ProNephro AKI™ assay.
Time frame: T0 urine specimen collected within 24 hours of ICU admission; AKI status assessed at 48 to 72 hours after ICU admission
Specificity of the ProNephro AKI™ Urinary NGAL Test at the 172 ng/mL Cut-off
Percentage of evaluable participants without independently adjudicated KDIGO Stage 2 or Stage 3 acute kidney injury at 48 to 72 hours who have a T0 urinary NGAL concentration below 172 ng/mL, as measured using the ProNephro AKI™ assay.
Time frame: T0 urine specimen collected within 24 hours of ICU admission; AKI status assessed at 48 to 72 hours after ICU admission
Positive Predictive Value of the ProNephro AKI™ Urinary NGAL Test at the 172 ng/mL Cut-off
Percentage of evaluable participants with a T0 urinary NGAL concentration of 172 ng/mL or greater who have independently adjudicated KDIGO Stage 2 or Stage 3 acute kidney injury at 48 to 72 hours, as measured using the ProNephro AKI™ assay.
Time frame: T0 urine specimen collected within 24 hours of ICU admission; AKI status assessed at 48 to 72 hours after ICU admission
Negative Predictive Value of the ProNephro AKI™ Urinary NGAL Test at the 172 ng/mL Cut-off
Percentage of evaluable participants with a T0 urinary NGAL concentration below 172 ng/mL who do not have independently adjudicated KDIGO Stage 2 or Stage 3 acute kidney injury at 48 to 72 hours, as measured using the ProNephro AKI™ assay.
Time frame: T0 urine specimen collected within 24 hours of ICU admission; AKI status assessed at 48 to 72 hours after ICU admission
Correlation Between Urinary and Plasma NGAL Concentrations Measured Using the ProNephro AKI™ Assay

Pearson's r correlation coefficient for paired urinary and plasma NGAL concentrations measured in ng/mL at the same protocol-defined collection time points.
Time frame: Across protocol-defined collection time points through 72 hours after ICU admission
Agreement Between Urinary and Plasma NGAL Concentrations Measured Using the ProNephro AKI™ Assay
Agreement between paired urinary and plasma NGAL concentrations measured in ng/mL at the same protocol-defined collection time points will be assessed using Passing-Bablok regression.
Time frame: Across protocol-defined collection time points through 72 hours after ICU admission
Change in Urinary NGAL Concentration Over Time by KDIGO Stage 2/3 Acute Kidney Injury Status
Change in urinary NGAL concentration, measured in ng/mL using the ProNephro AKI™ assay, will be evaluated over the protocol-defined collection time points and summarized separately for participants with and without independently adjudicated KDIGO Stage 2 or Stage 3 acute kidney injury.
Time frame: From T0 specimen collection through 72 hours after ICU admission
Percentage of Participants Developing KDIGO Stage 2/3 Acute Kidney Injury by Sequential Urinary NGAL Pattern
Percentage of participants who develop independently adjudicated KDIGO Stage 2 or Stage 3 acute kidney injury, summarized according to sequential urinary NGAL patterns at T0 and T1: negative to negative, negative to positive, positive to positive, and positive to negative. Positive or negative NGAL status will be determined using the 172 ng/mL cut-off.
Time frame: From T0 specimen collection through assessment of acute kidney injury status at 72 hours after ICU admission
