Diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease Using Machine Learning Algorithm

: A large percentage of people globally suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD), a serious health concern. Effective diagnosis, treatment, and referral of CKD depend heavily on early identification and prediction of the disease. However, it is difficult to evaluate and derive significant insights from health data due to its vast and complicated nature. Engineers and medical researchers are using data mining techniques and machine learning algorithms to create predictive models for chronic kidney disease (CKD) in an effort to address this issue. The goal of this research is to create and validate predictive models for chronic kidney disease (CKD) based on a variety of clinical factors, including albuminuria, age, diet, eGFR, and pre-existing medical problems. The objective is to estimate the likelihood of renal failure, which may necessitate kidney dialysis or a transplant, and to evaluate the degree of kidney disease. With the use of this knowledge, patients and healthcare providers should be able to make well-informed decisions about diagnosis, treatment, and lifestyle changes. Patterns in the gathered data can be found, and future incidence of CKD or other related diseases can be predicted, by utilising MLT such as ANN and data mining techniques. Finding novel characteristics linked to the onset of renal disease and adding more trustworthy data from CKD patients. The best algorithm to categorise the data as CKD or NOT_CKD is chosen throughout the design process, and the data is then classified according to this differentiation. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which offers important details about the patient's current kidney function, is used to classify cases of chronic kidney disease. By combining complete patient data with machine learning algorithms, this research advances the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and improves patient outcomes.


Introduction
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a prevalent and serious health condition worldwide, often caused by underlying conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.Early Detection and Accurate prediction of CKD are crucial for implementing appropriate interventions and improving patient outcomes.
Traditional approaches for diagnosing and monitoring CKD, such as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and clinical markers, have limitations in capturing subtle changes in kidney function and providing comprehensive risk assessment.The goal of this research is to create and evaluate predictive models for chronic kidney disease (CKD), primarily focusing on assessing the likelihood ofrenal failure and the need for dialysis or kidney transplantation.These models inform medical providers about the severity of the disease, teach patients how to live a healthy lifestyle, and direct future treatment strategies.Through the application of artificial neural networks (ANN), data mining techniques, and pattern analysis of the gathered data, it is possible to forecast the probability of future occurrences of specific diseases, allowing for early intervention.
The suggested model seeks to forecast, from a person's lifestyle choices, the likelihood that they would develop chronic kidney disease.This data can assist determine whether an eGFR diagnosis of renal disease is necessary, which aids medical professionals in treating patients appropriately.When evaluating kidney function and the degree of chronic renal disease, the eGFR is an essential tool.Since blood filtration is the kidneys' main job, kidney illness frequently advances silently without causing any symptoms to become apparent.Considering the significant impact chronic kidney disease has on the world's health, it is critical to address the issue of those who cannot afford treatment not having access to it.The development of a serious sickness can be stopped by early diagnosis of the condition using reliable prediction models.
In this study, we use ML algorithms, DM strategies, and extensive patient data to overcome the shortcomings of conventional methods for CKD diagnosis and prediction.The discipline of managing renal illness could undergo a revolution with the creation of precise predictive models, which would allow for prompt interventions and enhance patient outcomes.
