Natural language processing of electronic health records is superior to billing codes to identify symptom burden in hemodialysis patients.

Kidney international
Symptoms are common in patients on maintenance hemodialysis but identification is challenging. New informatics approaches including natural language processing (NLP) can be utilized to identify symptoms from narrative clinical documentation. Here we ...

An integrated model using the Taguchi method and artificial neural network to improve artificial kidney solidification parameters.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: Hemodialysis mainly relies on the "artificial kidney," which plays a very important role in temporarily or permanently substituting for the kidney to carry out the exchange of waste and discharge of water. Nevertheless, a previous study o...

An Equation Based on Fuzzy Mathematics to Assess the Timing of Haemodialysis Initiation.

Scientific reports
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...

Prediction of Hemodialysis Timing Based on LVW Feature Selection and Ensemble Learning.

Journal of medical systems
We propose an improved model based on LVW embedded model feature extractor and ensemble learning for improving prediction accuracy of hemodialysis timing in this paper. Due to this drawback caused by feature extraction models, we adopt an enhanced LV...

Synbiotic meal decreases uremic toxins in hemodialysis individuals: A placebo-controlled trial.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Generation of uremic toxins p-cresylsulfate (p-CS), indoxyl sulfate (IS) and indole 3-acetic acid (IAA) in hemodialysis (HD) individuals may be associated with the gut flora and recognized markers of disease progression. This study investigated the e...

Artificial intelligence outperforms experienced nephrologists to assess dry weight in pediatric patients on chronic hemodialysis.

Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany)
BACKGROUND: Dry weight is the lowest weight patients on hemodialysis can tolerate; correct dry weight estimation is necessary to minimize morbi-mortality, but is difficult to achieve. Here, we used artificial intelligence to improve the accuracy of d...

High soluble CD30 levels and associated anti-HLA antibodies in patients with failed renal allografts.

The International journal of artificial organs
INTRODUCTION: Serum soluble CD30 (sCD30), a 120-kD glycoprotein that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor family, has been suggested as a marker of rejection in kidney transplant patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationsh...
