Disclose are methods, compositions and kits for the determination of kidney function that provide an alternative to the standard-of-cure used for eGFR calculations. Described herein are methods for quantitative measurement of ADMA and hydration markers in a urine sample, and process used to transform the input of these methods into a measure of kidney function. The methods allow ADMA and other biomarkers to be detected in urine samples from a subject using a simple and inexpensive assay that can be easily performed noninvasively and only require urine samples for the prediction of kidney function.

Methods, apparatuses and systems are described that are capable of simultaneously determining the presence, identities or levels of multiple analytes present in a single sample, by carrying out steps including denaturation, normalization, extraction, mixed-mode liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry, whereby the presence, identities or levels of analytes in the single sample are determined.

Disclosed are methods for predicting, inhibiting, and treating chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a subject that that is preparing to undergo a liver transplant. The methods may include detecting a protein biomarker in a serum sample from the subject prior to the subject being administered a liver transplant procedure and/or after the subject has been administered the liver transplant procedure. Suitable protein markers for the disclosed methods may include but are not limited to osteopontin (OPN) and/or tissue inhibitor of metalloproteases 1 (TIMP1).

Compositions and methods are provided for diagnosis and/or prognosis of acute kidney injury risk following medical procedures in a subject. In some embodiments, the method includes measuring and comparing the level of particular proteins to other proteins. In other embodiments, the method includes measuring proteins levels with clinical variable information and comparing this composite with the composite of other protein levels with clinical variable information.

A biosensor for detecting analytes present in fluid includes one or more plates configured on a substrate to form at least one channel such that one or more containment chambers are formed in the channels. The channel are mechanically, separated from each other by spacers, and the containment chambers are fluidically separated from adjacent chamber by a discontinuity such that the fluid flows between adjacent chambers only after an application of a predefined pressure on the plate. The multiple chambers allows the fluid to undergo pre-processing using different set of reagents provided at different chambers, to mitigate effects of interferents and to efficiently distribute load of the reagents on the chambers. Further, some of containment chambers allows detection of analytes in the fluid using detection reagents.
