A neural network approach to glomerular filtration rate estimation: a single-centre retrospective audit.

Published Date: Apr 7, 2025

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The 2009 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation without race correction factor is frequently used for an estimate of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and to support a single-sample GFR regime. This study examines whether neural networks offer a potential means to improve the accuracy of GFR estimates using the same initial inputs as eGFR.
