A hybrid neural network model for predicting kidney disease in hypertension patients based on electronic health records.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Disease prediction based on Electronic Health Records (EHR) has become one hot research topic in biomedical community. Existing work mainly focuses on the prediction of one target disease, and little work is proposed for multiple associat...

Renal Function Impairment in Kidney Transplantation: Importance of Early BK Virus Detection.

Transplantation proceedings
BACKGROUND: BK virus allograft nephropathy is a major complication of kidney transplantation that markedly reduces graft survival (50% graft failure 24 months after being diagnosed). BK virus replication can occur at any time posttransplantation. Vir...

A dynamic model for predicting graft function in kidney recipients' upcoming follow up visits: A clinical application of artificial neural network.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Predicting the function of transplanted kidneys would help clinicians in individualized medical interventions. We aimed to develop and validate a predictive tool for a future value of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at upcomin...

An End-to-End System for Automatic Urinary Particle Recognition with Convolutional Neural Network.

Journal of medical systems
The urine sediment analysis of particles in microscopic images can assist physicians in evaluating patients with renal and urinary tract diseases. Manual urine sediment examination is labor-intensive, subjective and time-consuming, and the traditiona...

Aggregation-Induced Emission Probe for Specific Turn-On Quantification of Soluble Transferrin Receptor: An Important Disease Marker for Iron Deficiency Anemia and Kidney Diseases.

Analytical chemistry
Transferrin receptor (TfR) is overexpressed on the surface of many cancer cells due to its vital roles in iron circulation and cellular respiration. Soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), a truncated extracellular form of TfR in serum, is an important ...

Urinary exosomal viral microRNA as a marker of BK virus nephropathy in kidney transplant recipients.

PloS one
OBJECTIVE: Bkv-miR-B1-5p, one of the microRNAs encoded by BK virus, was recently reported to be elevated in the blood among the patients with BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). Urinary exosome was suggested to be a possible source of biomarker for kidney d...

The effect of establishing pre-angiography thresholds on contrast utilization.

Journal of interventional cardiology
INTRODUCTION: Contrast induced nephropathy is linked to contrast utilization and strategies for minimizing renal injury are incorporated into many laboratories that perform coronary angiography. Contrast limits have been described, below which there ...

Comparison of Renal Function between Robot-Assisted and Open Partial Nephrectomy as Determined by Tc 99m-DTPA Renal Scintigraphy.

Journal of Korean medical science
We compared postoperative renal function impairment between patients undergoing robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and those undergoing open partial nephrectomy (OPN) by using Tc-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) renal scintigraphy...

Robot-assisted excision of seminal vesicle cyst associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis.

Archivio italiano di urologia, andrologia : organo ufficiale [di] Societa italiana di ecografia urologica e nefrologica
Seminal vesicle cysts (SVCs) associated with other genitourologic abnormalities are rare. Often associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis in a symptomatic patient. In symptomatic patients open surgical excision is the treatment of choice. The laparo...
