BACKGROUND: Optimal timing for initiating maintenance dialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3-5 is challenging. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning (ML) model for early personalised prediction of mainte...
OBJECTIVE: Failure-to-mature and early stenosis remains the Achille's heel of hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation. The maturation and patency of an AVF can be influenced by a variety of demographic, comorbidity, and anatomical factors. ...
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires accurate prediction of renal replacement therapy (RRT) initiation risk. This study developed deep learning algorithms (DLAs) to predict RRT risk in CKD patients by incorporating medical history and pr...

In recent years, adynamic bone disease (ABD) has become a common skeletal lesion in adult patients with chronic kidney disease. We aimed to compare the effects of low calcium dialysate (LCD) and standard calcium dialysate of our facility [high calciu...
OBJECTIVE: This study used random forest model to explore the feasibility of radial artery calcification in prediction of coronary artery calcification in hemodialysis patients.
OBJECTIVE: Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) guidelines discourage ongoing access salvage attempts after two interventions prior to successful use or more than three interventions per year overall. The goal was to develop a tool for ...
