Abstract
This paper presents a deep learning-based approach for the detection of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The proposed method involves a comprehensive pipeline that includes image pre-processing using median filtering, segmentation through Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering, and feature extraction based on statistical and texture-based measures. The CNN classifier is trained on a dataset of kidney images and evaluated based on key performance metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity, and time consumption. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed CNN model achieves an accuracy of 97% and a sensitivity of 88%, significantly outperforming traditional machine learning algorithms like Naïve Bayes, Decision Tree, and Support Vector Machine (SVM), which achieved accuracies of 91%, 93.2%, and 94.1%, respectively. Additionally, the CNN model shows the lowest time consumption at 21%, highlighting its efficiency in real- time applications. These results confirm the effectiveness of the CNN-based approach for early-stage CKD detection, offering a promising solution for improving diagnostic accuracy in clinical settings.
