Machine learning models for early detection of urinary tract infections in kidney transplant patients

Abstract: Background Renal transplantation is the preferred treatment for end-stage chronic kidney disease but requires lifelong immunosuppression, increasing the risk of infections such as urinary tract infection (UTI). UTI in kidney transplant recipients can lead to serious complications, including acute kidney injury, reduced graft survival, and increased mortality. Machine learning can enhance risk detection accuracy and support proactive management of complications. This study aims to develop a machine learning-based…

The quick read

Background Renal transplantation is the preferred treatment for end-stage chronic kidney disease but requires lifelong immunosuppression, increasing the risk of infections such as urinary tract infection (UTI). UTI in kidney transplant recipients can lead to serious complications, including acute kidney injury, reduced graft survival, and increased mortality.

Machine learning can enhance risk detection accuracy and support proactive management of complications. This study aims to develop a machine learning-based approach for predicting urinary tract infections in kidney transplant recipients, facilitating the early identification of high-risk individuals.

Main points
  • Background Renal transplantation is the preferred treatment for end-stage chronic kidney disease but requires lifelong immunosuppression, increasing the risk of infections such as urinary tract infection (UTI).
  • UTI in kidney transplant recipients can lead to serious complications, including acute kidney injury, reduced graft survival, and increased mortality.
  • This study aims to develop a machine learning-based approach for predicting urinary tract infections in kidney transplant recipients, facilitating the early identification of high-risk individuals.
Problem
