Abstract: A method of devising a therapy plan for renal replacement therapy (RRT) includes detecting a level of one or more biomarkers in a body fluid sample obtained from a subject. The level(s) may be correlated to an expected benefit from treatment with continued RRT and/or to an expected ability to successfully discontinue RRT. The method may include the step of assigning the subject to a predetermined subpopulation of individuals exhibiting a known status with regard to meeting criteria for continuing or discontinuing RRT. In some embodiments, the biomarker level is detected by introducing the body fluid into an assay instrument and contacting the body fluid to a binding reagent, for example, an antibody.
