The Emerging Role of Implementing Machine Learning in Food Recommendation for Chronic Kidney Diseases Using Correlation Analysis

Abstract

Kidneys are vital organs in the human body, and their effective functioning determines life quality. Chronic kidney illness is a kind of nephrotic syndrome in which the kidneys’ capacity to cope normally steadily deteriorates and remains asymptomatic for a long period as the disease progresses. An early CKD detection would help the patient recover faster and easier. Using an artificial intelligence system that can effectively aid in CKD detection in time and suggest the required food nutrition for its treatment and recovery would reap immense benefits for healthcare professionals as well as the patient. ML is a part of AI technology that has been used for effective medical development. This technology helps physicians in the accurate diagnosis of kidney disease and helps in effective treatment prediction by recommending required nutrition. The present research relates to the use of ML in proper kidney disease diagnosis and food recommendations for treatment accordingly. A correlation analysis has been done in this research to observe the strength of ML using the effective finding for renal malfunctioning and identifying the best food products that could help in its treatment and recovery. IBM SPSS version 26 has been used for this research. The correlation analysis has been done to observe the impact of eight independent variables that are age, gender, blood sugar, serum albumin, creatinine, potassium, bacteria, and pus secretion on the two dependent variables that are the risk of CKD occurrence and ML accuracy. The results have exposed that the autonomous values consist of a strong positive correlation with the dependent variable (p<0.005). The statistical significance values have proved that the dependent values are statistically significant (0.001). The value of ML accuracy at a 95% confidence level has been observed at 88.85%, and the CKD occurrence value is 86.95%. The results have proved that the ML algorithm detects the risk of CKD occurrence accurately in each stage via analyzing blood sugar, creatinine, and potassium levels. The result also shows that the risk of CKD enhances with an increase in age.
