This same effect was further amplified for the KIT assays ability to detect both CKD 1 and 2, with a likelihood ratio χ12=196.5 (LR p-value < 0.0001), with the >18.5 KIT Score threshold having a sensitivity of 95.8% (exact 95% CI: 92.2, 98.1%) for early CKD detection. The gene discussed is KIT; the disease is chronic kidney disease.
