AIAI-based screening for chronic kidney disease using heart ultrasounds
A study in Med describes a deep learning model developed and externally validated to detect chronic kidney disease from echocardiograms, potentially enabling earlier screening.
TLDR
Med describes a study in which Yuan and colleagues developed and externally validated a deep learning model to detect chronic kidney disease from echocardiograms, or heart ultrasound scans. The journal puts the disease’s underdiagnosis rate at over 60% and says high-risk populations are not routinely screened. It presents the approach as a promising way to enable earlier screening and close diagnostic gaps.
