Abstract
BACKGROUND: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a common and serious complication of diabetes mellitus and has become the most important cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In light of the rising prevalence of diabetes, there is a growing imperative for the early detection and intervention of DKD. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, its potential applications in patient education are receiving increasing attention, especially large language models (LLMs). The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of LLMs-generated patient education materials (PEMs) for early DKD and to explore its feasibility in patient education.
