ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS IN DIALYSIS MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Dialysis is a cornerstone in the management of patients with advanced chronic kidney diseases. Its prescription is complex because it requires an appropriate adaptation to the needs of patients. Artificial intelligence has appeared as an effective tool for managing patients on dialysis, since it has shown to be able to predict outcomes and has demonstrated to be able to help decision-making processes. It promises to guide the management of patients on dialysis more effectively and efficiently. This narrative review aims to present the most relevant AI systems that have emerged with applications in the management of patients with kidney failure on chronic dialysis. Assess if their positioning is a useful resource for the management of patients in this scenario. (Chaudhuri et al.2021)

Dialysis is a cornerstone in the management of patients with advanced chronic kidney diseases. As incidence and prevalence grow, their prescription becomes a complex process. Thus, tools that accelerate prescription adjustment, optimize clinical practice, and improve results are necessary. Lately, artificial intelligence has arisen as such a tool. There are many diverse publications that predict outcomes and demonstrate that AI models can be useful in decision-making processes in nephrology. AI is a method that allows computers to learn from experience. It gives learning capacities similar to those of human beings. It excels in areas with large volumes of data, often faced with problems in medicine. In this way, the emergence of AI applications as a valuable tool in the management of patients on dialysis is understandable. It promises to guide the management of such complex patients more effectively and efficiently. (Hammouda & Neyra, 2022)
