| Summary: | Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most common and serious illnesses affecting individuals worldwide, potentially leading to kidney failure. Various strategies exist to manage CKD, with hemodialysis being the most effective. However, this treatment comes with numerous limitations that can significantly affect patients’ quality of life. Therefore, it is crucial to explore new approaches to address these challenges. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising tool in nephrology. This review aims to reduce the need for frequent dialysis and to explore the future potential of AI in the field of nephrology. The frequency of hemodialysis refers to the regular, scheduled dialysis sessions mainly prescribed for patients with CKD, in addition to the unplanned or premature initiation of hemodialysis through predictive and preventive interventions. This narrative review systematically searched Google Scholar and PubMed using keywords related to CKD, hemodialysis, and AI. AI is used in kidney disease to predict CKD progression, evaluate drug prescriptions, detect medical errors, adjust dialysis schedules, and identify unknown comorbidities and phenotypes. Integrating AI in nephrology holds promise for reducing kidney dialysis frequency through its applications in the management plans of patients with CKD.
