Chronic Kidney Disease Prediction Using Python & Machine Learning

A Python Program to Detect and Classify Chronic Kidney Disease

In this article I will show you how to create your own python program to predict and classify patience as having chronic kidney disease (ckd) or not using artificial neural networks.

Chronic kidney disease, also called chronic kidney failure, describes the gradual loss of kidney function. Your kidneys filter wastes and excess fluids from your blood, which are then excreted in your urine. When chronic kidney disease reaches an advanced stage, dangerous levels of fluid, electrolytes and wastes can build up in your body. -Mayo Clinic

In the early stages of chronic kidney disease, you may have few signs or symptoms. Chronic kidney disease may not become apparent until your kidney function is significantly impaired. -Mayo Clinic

Treatment for chronic kidney disease focuses on slowing the progression of the kidney damage, usually by controlling the underlying cause. Chronic kidney disease can progress to end-stage kidney failure, which is fatal without artificial filtering (dialysis) or a kidney transplant. -Mayo Clinic
