Arterial stiffness is a non-traditional risk factor of cardiovascular disease and may explain part of the excess cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease patients. Successful renal transplantation (RT) may restore renal function and improve seve...
BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of kidney transplant rejection currently relies on manual histopathological assessment, which is subjective and susceptible to inter-observer variability, leading to limited reproducibility. We aim to develop a deep learning sys...
The quest to reduce kidney transplant rejection has emphasized the urgent requirement for the development of non-invasive, precise diagnostic technologies. These technologies aim to detect antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) and T-cell-mediated reject...
BACKGROUND: Living kidney donors are screened pre-donation to estimate the risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). We evaluate Machine Learning (ML) to predict the progression of kidney function deterioration over time using the estimated GFR (eGFR)...
The decision to accept a deceased donor organ offer for transplant, or wait for something potentially better in the future, can be challenging. Clinical decision support tools predicting transplant outcomes are lacking. This project uses interpretabl...
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of renal function following kidney donation and careful selection of living donors are essential for living-kidney donation programs. We aimed to develop a prediction model for post-donation renal function following li...
BACKGROUND: Kidney transplantation is a complex process requiring extensive preparation and ongoing monitoring. Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered chatbots hold potential for providing accessible health information, but our understanding of their r...
Kidney transplant recipients face a high cardiovascular risk, which is a leading cause of death in this patient group. This article proposes the application of clustering techniques and feature selection to predict the survival outcomes of kidney tra...
BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress is an unavoidable process in kidney transplantation and is closely related to the development of acute rejection after kidney transplantation. This study aimed to investigate the biomarkers associated with oxidative stres...
