BACKGROUND: Although dialysis patients are at a high risk of death, it is difficult for medical practitioners to simultaneously evaluate many inter-related risk factors. In this study, we evaluated the characteristics of hemodialysis patients using m...
Risk stratification of young patients with hypertension remains challenging. Generally, machine learning (ML) is considered a promising alternative to traditional methods for clinical predictions because it is capable of processing large amounts of c...

BACKGROUND: Secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT and THPT), are complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD), characterized by high levels of serum parathormone, hyperphosphatemia or hypercalcemia, respectively. If diet and pharmacologic...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to analyze and visualize blood pressure (BP) patterns during continuous hemodialysis (HD) sessions, referred to as multiple-session patterns (MSPs), and explore whether deep learning models with MSPs have better pe...
The classifier of support vector machine (SVM) learning for assessing the quality of arteriovenous fistulae (AVFs) in hemodialysis (HD) patients using a new photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor device is presented in this work. In clinical practice, the...

We previously reported a system for assessing rejection in kidney transplant biopsies using microarray-based gene expression data, the Molecular Microscope Diagnostic System (MMDx). The present study was designed to optimize the accuracy and stabilit...
In order to develop an equation that integrates multiple clinical factors including signs and symptoms associated with uraemia to assess the initiation of dialysis, we conducted a retrospective cohort study including 25 haemodialysis centres in Mainl...

OBJECTIVE: The study objective was to retrospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency endometrial ablation in treating heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) in women with chronic renal failure (CRF).
The pre-transplant weight loss required of end-stage renal disease patients is often unachievable. Though robot-assisted procedures among extremely obese have shown minimal complication, long-term outcomes are understudied. Previously, we reported no...
