Abstract:

Objective

To explore the current landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) models built on clinical laboratory data for predicting chronic kidney disease (CKD)-related outcomes.

Methods

Following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, a systematic search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), and Wanfang Databases to identify studies employing AI algorithms with clinical laboratory data to predict CKD outcomes.

Results

16 studies were ultimately included, spanning data from 6 countries, with sample sizes ranging from 308 to 4.8 million participants. Random forest and gradient boosting algorithms are the most widely adopted modeling algorithms. Beyond estimated glomerular filtration rate and serum creatinine, several auxiliary biomarkers demonstrated independent predictive value including urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, serum albumin, hemoglobin, cystatin C, and glycosylated hemoglobin spanning the domains of renal function, metabolism, nutrition, and hematology. The best-performing models across included studies achieved area under curve values ranging from 0.689 to 0.993.

Conclusion

AI predictive models built on clinical laboratory data demonstrate promising performance across multiple CKD outcome categories, with the integration of multidimensional laboratory biomarkers offering a clear advantage over conventional single-marker assessment frameworks.
