Hi
@The Rad,
Thanks so much for taking the time to crunch PIQ numbers for us, it’s looking OK.
Thank you so much for your kind words & I’m very sorry to hear you lost a loved one recently. I have worked in Palliative Care & know what to expect, sometimes more difficult when others around you still have hope, but you know what is going to happen, just a matter of when & making sure of comfort, care needs & support for family.
That website is excellent
@The Rad, and a great resource, so thanks for sharing. A lot of people avoid & find it difficult to talk about death & dying, so very helpful.
Something that might be helpful to you & your wife is Elisabeth Kübler-Ross book & stages of grief, it’s different for everyone, so it’s good to know what you might be feeling is quite normal, before or after. Website below gives a snapshot:

Back to PIQ, I thought that was very good Janssen have collaborated with Vifor Pharma in the USA to market Invokana, being renal/CKD specialists. We may potentially see Vifor co-marketing PromarkerD as a complimentary diagnostic if the CREDENCE analysis by comes up trumps. Hopefully some news soon. Janssen analysis may not take as long as expected, they have the resources to do things quickly if they desire to. Things seem to be progressing in the USA with the new label indications for their drug (CKD/CVD).
You are right
@The Rad, it’s crazy that an Australian company develops a test that can change lives & potentially save Medicare millions if not billions of dollars, with our own burgeoning diabetes & CKD population, yet it’s not being utilised in our own country as yet. Go figure?
Have a good day all.
