Renalytix (LSE:RENX) has raised approximately £7.05 million through an oversubscribed fundraise, combining a WRAP Retail Offer, Placing, and Subscription. The proceeds are intended to support the company’s commercial expansion and broaden access to its kidneyintelX.dkd testing in the US, potentially transforming the management of diabetic kidney disease and reducing associated societal costs.
