Kidney pathology of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), which is the key finding of both diagnosis and risk stratification, involves labor-intensive manual interpretation as well as unavoidable interpreter-dependent variabilities. We propose artific...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Measuring the thickness of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) and assessing the percentage of podocyte foot process effacement (%PFPE) are important for diagnosing non-neoplastic kidney diseases. However, when performed ...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) models can help assisting diagnosis by rapidly localising and classifying regions of interest (ROIs) within whole slide images (WSIs). Effective ML models for clinical decision support require a substantial dataset o...
To decrease the number of chronic kidney disease (CKD), early diagnosis of diabetic kidney disease is required. We performed invariant information clustering (IIC)-based clustering on glomerular images obtained from nephrectomized kidneys of patients...
Accurate segmentation and classification of glomeruli are fundamental to histopathology slide analysis in renal pathology, which helps to characterize individual kidney disease. Accurate segmentation of glomeruli of different types faces two main cha...
OBJECTIVE: Recognizing glomerular lesions is essential in diagnosing chronic kidney disease. However, deep learning faces challenges due to the lesion heterogeneity, superposition, progression, and tissue incompleteness, leading to uncertainty in mod...

PURPOSE: In pathology images, different stains highlight different glomerular structures, so a supervised deep learning-based glomerular instance segmentation model trained on individual stains performs poorly on other stains. However, it is difficul...
BACKGROUND: Glomerular lesions are the main injuries of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and are used as a crucial index for pathologic classification. Manual quantification of these morphologic features currently used is semi-quantitative and time-consumin...
