A method for evaluating renal status in a subject ex vivo, comprises performing one or more assays configured to detect a kidney injury marker on a body fluid sample obtained previously from the subject to provide one or more assay results, the kidney injury marker being Epidermal growth factor; and correlating the assay result(s) to one or more of risk stratification, staging, prognosis, classifying and monitoring of the renal status of the subject. The correlating step comprises assigning a likelihood or risk of future acute renal failure (ARF) suffered by the subject. |
