Abstract

BACKGROUND: Accurate estimation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is clinically crucial for determining the status of obstruction, developing treatment strategies, and predicting prognosis in obstructive nephropathy (ON). We aimed to develop a deep learning-based system, named UroAngel, for non-invasive and convenient prediction of single-kidney function level.
