Sapphire (Kidney Injury Biomarkers)

Sapphire AST-111 / Evaluation of Novel Biomarkers from Acutely Ill Patients at Risk for Acute Kidney Injury

The purpose is to look for biomarkers in the blood and urine that might be related to kidney damage caused by illness and infection. I will be asking subjects to provide blood and urine samples twice a day for the first 4 days and then once daily for 3 more days.
