BACKGROUND: Maintenance hemodialysis patients experience high morbidity and mortality, primarily from cardiovascular and infectious diseases. It was discovered recently that low arterial oxygen saturation (SaO) is associated with a pro-inflammatory p...
BACKGROUND: Hospital readmission following renal transplantation significantly impacts patient outcomes and healthcare resources. While machine learning approaches offer promising solutions for risk prediction, their clinical application often lacks ...
OBJECTIVE: Blood pressure fluctuations during dialysis, including intradialytic hypotension (IDH) and intradialytic hypertension (IDHTN), are common complications among patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Early prediction of IDH and IDHTN c...
BACKGROUND: Creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations are widely used in clinical practice but exhibit inherent limitations. On the other side, measuring GFR is time consuming and not available in routine clinical practic...
BACKGROUND: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a common severe complication after radical nephrectomy in patients with renal cancer. The timely and accurate prediction of the long-term progression of renal function post-surgery is crucial for early inte...
BACKGROUND: For critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), there remains controversy regarding the predictive factors affecting the discontinuation of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). This study aims to explore factors associ...
Current research in nephrology is increasingly focused on elucidating the complexity inherent in tightly interwoven molecular systems and their correlation with pathology and related therapeutics, including dialysis and renal transplantation. Rapid a...
BACKGROUND: The mortality rate and prognosis of short-term and long-term acute kidney injury (AKI) patients who undergo continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) are different. Setting up risk stratification tools for both short-term and long-term ...
BACKGROUND: The use of tools that allow estimation of the probability of progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) to advanced stages has not yet achieved significant practical importance in clinical setting. This study aimed to develop and validat...
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires accurate prediction of renal replacement therapy (RRT) initiation risk. This study developed deep learning algorithms (DLAs) to predict RRT risk in CKD patients by incorporating medical history and pr...
