Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Accurate identification of the risk factors is essential for the effective prevention of hyperuricaemia (HUA)-related kidney damage. Previous studies have established the efficacy of machine learning (ML) methodologies in predicting kidney damage due to other chronic diseases. Nevertheless, a scarcity of precise and clinically applicable prediction models exists for assessing the risk of HUA-related kidney damage. This study aims to accurately predict the risk of developing HUA-related kidney damage using a ML algorithm, which is based on a retrospective database.
