A Study to Assess the Risk Factors Associated with Sudden Death in Population on Hemodialysis
Abstract: Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD) experience disproportionately high mortality, with sudden death remaining a leading cause. Multiple clinical, biochemical, and care-related factors influence outcomes, yet comprehensive risk stratification models and the role of dialysis timing and early nephrology care remain inadequately explored in resource-limited settings. Objectives: This study aimed to (i) identify clinical and biochemical risk factors associated with mortality in HD patients, (ii) …

Development of an Arduino-Based Water Quality Monitoring System Using Turbidity Sensor
Abstract: Clean drinking water is essential for human health since dirty water can lead to serious diseases such as diarrhoea, cholera and typhoid and long-term diseases such as kidney damage, cancer and child development problems. Though hard water is less dangerous, it causes dry skin and kidney stones and saline water causes high blood pressure. The Water Quality Monitoring System exists as a solution against existing water safety issues. The system …

A Case Report on Alport Syndrome which ends up with Allograft Rejection due to Anti-GBM Disease
Abstract: Alport syndrome (AS) is a condition which is genetically inherited and is characterized by abnormalities in the basement membrane of the kidney, ear and eye as well. It is one of the spectra of diseases representing hereditary nephritis, which inevitably leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is also a characteristic feature in AS. The hearing abnormality begins during late childhood or early adolescence and 90% of …

An Insight to Hyponatremia in Cirrhosis: Pathophysiology and Management Approaches
Abstract: Cirrhosis is considered by systemic and splanchnic vasodilation that principals to extreme nonosmotic excretion of vasopressin. Hyponatremia is a mutual electrolyte irregularity in progressive liver disease that outcomes from the diminished capability of the kidney to excrete solute-free water that principals to “dilutional” hyponatremia water retention uneven to the retaining of sodium. Hyponatremia is mutual in cirrhosis. It frequently happens in a progressive phase of the disease and is related …

Predicting diabetes status using ensemble algorithms with hyperparameter tuning
Abstract: Diabetes is a condition in which the body is unable to produce enough insulin to keep blood sugar levels under control. If diabetes is not properly identified and treated, it can lead to kidney failure, nerve damage, blindness, and coronary heart disease. A healthy lifestyle, therefore, depends on the early identification of diabetes diseases. However, it can be difficult to assess a person's diabetic status if they live in remote …

Determining the Root Causes of Complications in Hemodialysis
Abstract: As with peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation, hemodialysis has been considered one of the most effective therapies for the replacement of kidney function. While this helps to save patients with the disease by decreasing morbidity /mortality/ rates, this medication has some side effects. These may manifest during the dialysis process alongside the ongoing treatment. Avoiding these barriers becomes crucial for improving the patients’ prognosis in this context.We are going to …
