Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly being used to enhance kidney transplant outcomes. In this review, we explore the use of AI in kidney transplantation (KT) in the existing literature. Four databases were searched to identify a total of 33 eligible studies. AI technologies were used to help in diagnostic, predictive and medication management purposes for kidney transplant patients. AI is an emerging tool in KT, however, there is a research gap exploring the limitations associated with implementing AI technologies in the field. Research is also needed to recognize clinical educational needs and other barriers to promote adoption and standardization of care for KT patients amongst clinicians.
