Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition characterized by gradual loss of kidney function, necessitating timely monitoring and interventions. This systematic review comprehensively evaluates the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques for predicting CKD progression. A rigorous literature search identified 13 relevant studies employing diverse AI/ML algorithms, including logistic regression, support vector machines, random forests, neural networks, and deep learning approaches. These studies primarily aimed to predict CKD progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or the need for renal replacement therapy, with some focusing on diabetic kidney disease progression, proteinuria, or estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decline. The findings highlight the promising predictive performance of AI/ML models, with several achieving high accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve scores. Key factors contributing to enhanced prediction included incorporating longitudinal data, baseline characteristics, and specific biomarkers such as estimated GFR, proteinuria, serum albumin, and hemoglobin levels. Integration of these predictive models with electronic health records and clinical decision support systems offers opportunities for timely risk identification, early interventions, and personalized management strategies. While challenges related to data quality, bias, and ethical considerations exist, the reviewed studies underscore the potential of AI/ML techniques to facilitate early detection, risk stratification, and targeted interventions for CKD patients. Ongoing research, external validation, and careful implementation are crucial to leveraging these advanced analytical approaches in clinical practice, ultimately improving outcomes and reducing the burden of CKD.
