Understanding Stroke in Dialysis and Chronic Kidney Disease

Patients with severe kidney failure need to be carefully monitored. One of the many treatments is called Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD). This kind of treatment intends to maintain the blood tests as normal as possible. Data Mining and Machine Learning can take a simple and meaningless bloods test data set and build it into a Decision Support System. Through this article, Machine Learning algorithms will be explored with different Data Mining Models in order to extract knowledge and classify a patient with a stroke risk or not, according to their blood analysis.
