Description
Summary:Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) presents significant challenges in diagnosis, treatment, and management due to its complex etiology and clinical variability. Traditional approaches often rely on clinician judgment and are prone to inconsistencies. This study introduces an advanced expert system integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Machine Learning (ML) to support nephrologists in assessing, treating, and managing FSGS. The proposed system features a modular design comprising diagnostic workflows, risk stratification, treatment guidance, and outcome monitoring modules. By leveraging ML algorithms and clinical data, the system offers personalized, data-driven recommendations, enhancing decision-making and patient care. The evaluation demonstrates the system’s efficacy in reducing diagnostic errors and optimizing treatment pathways. These findings underscore the potential of AI-driven tools in transforming nephrology practice and improving clinical outcomes for FSGS patients.
