Current progress in artificial intelligence-assisted medical image analysis for chronic kidney disease: A literature review.

ABSTRACT: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) causes irreversible damage to kidney structure and function. Arising from various etiologies, risk factors for CKD include hypertension and diabetes. With a progressively increasing global prevalence, CKD is an important public health problem worldwide. Medical imaging has become an important diagnostic tool for CKD through the non-invasive identification of macroscopic renal structural abnormalities. Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted medical imaging techniques aid clinicians in the analysis of characteristics that cannot be easily discriminated by the naked eye, providing valuable information for the identification and management of CKD. Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of AI-assisted medical image analysis as a clinical support tool usin
