    Prediction of CKDu using KDQOL score, Ankle Swelling and Risk Factor Analysis using Neural Networks
    (2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Lokuarachchi, D.N.; Manoj, J.V.T.; Weerasooriya, M.N.H.; Waseem, M.N.M.; Aslam, F.; Kumarasinghe, N.; Kasthurirathne, D.
    Chronic Kidney disease (Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)) is a type of kidney disease where gradual loss of kidney function occurs over a period of months to years. But, when CKD cannot identify a manner or causation of the disease or set of causes it is known as Chronic Kidney disease with unknown etiology (CKDu). There are several factors to be considered when analyzing the main causes for CKDu such as socio-economic, environmental, meteorological and health aspects in relation to the CKDu in Sri Lanka. In this research work, identification of CKDu has been done using the relationship of the Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL) score, ankle swelling with the serum creatinine level of blood and considering risk factors. This research has been done using three major branches of Artificial Intelligence namely neural networks, convolutional neural networks and machine learning. The relationship between the mentioned factors and CKDu has been identified. The sensitivity of 77.27% and a specificity of 89.28% have been marked for the detection of CKDu related to ankle swelling.

    Symptomatic Analysis Prediction of Kidney Related Diseases using Machine Learning
    (2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Lansakara, D.; Gunasekera, T.; Niroshana, C.; Weerasinghe, I.; Bandara, P.; Wijendra, D.
    Sri Lanka has been witnessing an increase in kidney disease issues for a while. Elderly kidney patients, kidney transplant patients who passed the risk level after the surgery are not treated in the emergency clinic. These patients are handed over to their families to take care of them. In any case, it is impossible to tackle a portion of the issues that emerge regarding the patient at home. It is hoped to enter patient’s data from home every day and to develop a system that can use that entered data to predict whether a patient is in an essential circumstance or not. Additionally, individuals in high-hazard regions cannot know whether they are in danger of creating kidney disappointments or not and individuals in danger of creating kidney sickness because of Diabetes Mellitus. Thus, we desire to emphasize the framework to improve answers for this issue. The research focuses on developing a system that includes early kidney disease prediction models involving machine learning classification algorithms by considering the relevant variables. In predictive analysis, six machine learning methods are used: Support Vector Machine (SVM with kernels), Random Forest (RF), Decision Tree, Logistic Regression, and Multilayer Perceptron. These classification algorithms' performance is evaluated using statistical measures such as sensitivity (recall), precision, accuracy, and F-score. In categorizing, accuracy determines which examples are accurate. The experimental results reveal that Support Vector Machine outperforms other classification algorithms in terms of accuracy.
