Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), also known as active parathyroid hormone, is an important indicator commonly for monitoring secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients undergoing hemodialysis. The aim of this study was to use machine learning (ML) models to predict monthly iPTH levels in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
