Abstract
An example method of diagnosing chronic kidney disease (CKD) includes obtaining an electronic medical record for a patient having medical data. The medical data includes an indication if the patient had been previously diagnosed with CKD, an indication if the patient had previously undergone a kidney transplant, an indication if the patient had previously undergone a renal dialysis procedure, an indication if the patient had previously been diagnosed with another type of kidney disease, one or more glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurements associated with the patient, an indication if the patient has type 2 diabetes, and/or an indication if the patient has hypertension. The method also includes automatically determining that the patient has CKD or does not have CKD based on the medical data in the electronic record.
