Smart medical uses the medical information platform and the current technological means to enable the process of sharing information between medical staff and medical equipment. The combination of current technology and the medical field has become t...
Robot-assisted donor nephrectomy (RDN) is increasingly used due to its advantages such as its precision and reduced learning curve when compared to laparoscopic techniques. Concerns remain among surgeons regarding possible longer warm ischemia time. ...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Adequate serum phosphorus levels in patients with chronic kidney disease is essential for their clinical management. However, the control of hyperphosphatemia is difficult because is normally associated with increases in ser...
INTRODUCTION: Comparing current to baseline serum creatinine is important in detecting acute kidney injury. In this study, we report a regression-based machine learning model to predict baseline serum creatinine.
