The early detection of arteriovenous (AV) access dysfunction is crucial for maintaining the patency of vascular access. This study aimed to use deep learning to predict AV access malfunction necessitating further vascular management. This prospecti...
End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) presents a significant public health challenge, with hemodialysis (HD) remaining one of the most prevalent kidney replacement therapies. Ensuring the longevity and functionality of arteriovenous accesses is challenging...
This research examines the application of non-invasive acoustic analysis for detecting obstructions in vascular access (fistulas) used by kidney dialysis patients. Obstructions in these fistulas can interrupt essential dialysis treatment. In this stu...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), also known as active parathyroid hormone, is an important indicator commonly for monitoring secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients undergoing hemodialysis. The aim of this study w...
Early mortality after hemodialysis (HD) initiation significantly impacts the longevity of HD patients. This study aimed to quantify the effect sizes of risk factors on mortality using various machine learning approaches. A cohort of 3284 HD patients ...
BACKGROUND: Adequate delivery of hemodialysis (HD), measured by the spKt/V derived from urea reduction, is an important determinant of clinical outcomes in chronic hemodialysis patients. However, the need for pre- and postdialysis blood samples preve...
Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) frequently experience anemia, and maintaining hemoglobin (Hb) levels within a targeted range using erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) is challenging. This study introduces a gated recurrent unit-att...
BACKGROUND: Heart failure is common in patients receiving hemodialysis. A high-flow arteriovenous fistula (AVF) may represent a modifiable risk factor for heart failure and death. Currently, no tools exist to assess the risk of developing a high-flow...
