Chronic Kidney Disease Prediction Using Machine Learning

Abstract: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition in which the kidneys lose their ability to function effectively over time. Individuals with hypertension, diabetes, or a family history of CKD are at increased risk, emphasizing the importance of early detection for effective intervention and management. Recent research has focused on employing machine learning techniques, including Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers, to predict CKD presence using a minimal set of features. This study aims to optimize predictive accuracy through advanced machine learning methodologies, facilitating timely and targeted healthcare interventions for at-risk individuals. By analyzing relevant clinical data, predictive models developed in this research offer promising avenues for early identification of CKD, enabling proactive disease management strategies. The integration of machine learning techniques in CKD prediction not only enhances predictive accuracy but also contributes to advancing personalized healthcare. Early detection allows for the implementation of preventive measures and personalized treatment plans, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing the burden on healthcare systems. The proposed methodology seeks to optimize predictive accuracy, aiding in timely and targeted healthcare interventions.
