Chronic Renal Disease Prediction using Clinical Data and Different Machine Learning Techniques

Chronic Renal Disease (CRD) or Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is defined as the continuous loss of kidney function. It's a long-term condition in which the kidney or renal doesn't work properly, gets damaged and can't filter blood on a regular basis. Diabetes, high blood pressure, swollen feet, ankles or hands and other disorders can cause chronic renal disease. By gradual progression and lack of treatment, it can lead to kidney failure. A prior prognosis of CKD can nourish the quality of life to a higher range in such circumstances and can enhance the attribute of life to a larger province. Now a days, bioscience is playing a significant role in the aspect of diagnosing and detecting numerous health conditions. Machine Learning (ML) as well as Data Mining (DM) methods are playing the leading role in the realm of biosciences. Our objective is to predict and diagnose (CKD) with some machine learning algorithms. In this study, an attempt to diagnose chronic renal disease has been taken with four ML algorithms named XGBoost, Adaboost, Logistic Regression (LR) as well as Random Forest (RF). By using decision tree-based classifiers and analyzing the dataset with comparing their performance, we attempted to diagnose CKD in this study. The results of the model in this study showed prosperous indications of a better prognosis for the diagnosis of kidney diseases. Considering and contemplating the performance analysis, it is accomplished that Random Forest ensemble learning algorithm provides better classification performance than other classification methods.acceptedVersionPeer reviewe

Genetic algorithm ensemble filter methods on kidney disease classification

Kidney failure will give effect to the human body, and it can lead to a series of seriously illness and even causing death. Machine learning plays important role in disease classification with high accuracy and shorter processing time as compared to clinical lab test. There are 24 attributes in the Chronic K idney Disease (CKD) clinical dataset, which is considered as too much of attributes. To improve the performance of the classification, filter feature selection methods used to reduce the dimensions of the feature and then the ensemble algorithm is used to identify the union features that selected from each filter feature selection. In this research, Random Forest (RF), XGBoost, Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Naive Bayes classification techniques were used to diagnose the CKD. The features subset that selected are different and specialised for each classifier. By implementing the proposed method irrelevant features through filter feature selection able to reduce the burden and computational cost for the genetic algorithm. Then, the genetic algorithm able to perform better and select the best subset that able to improve the performance of the classifier with less attributes. The proposed genetic algorithm union filter feature selections improve the performance of the classification algorithm. The accuracy of RF, XGBoost, KNN and SVM can achieve to 100% and NB can achieve to 99.17%. The proposed method successfully improves the performance of the classifier by using less features as compared to other previous work
