Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is evaluated based on glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using a gamma camera in the nuclear medicine center or hospital in a routine procedure, but the gamma camera does not provide the accurate stages of the diseases. Therefore, this research aimed to find out the normal or abnormal stages of CKD based on the value of GFR using an artificial neural network (ANN).
