Abstract

Early detection of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is critical for timely intervention and effective treatment. Deep learning algorithms have demonstrated promise in medical applications, including disease detection. In this study, we propose a deep learning-based system for early CKD detection using the Chronic Kidney Disease dataset from Kaggle. Additionally, we incorporate the Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) for feature selection to enhance the system's performance and interpretability. Our system employs a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture to analyze clinical and laboratory attributes from the CKD dataset, obtained from Kaggle, consisting of 4,000 instances with 25 attributes. These attributes encompass patient demographics, blood tests, and medical history, providing a comprehensive representation of CKD-related factors. To improve the system's performance, we integrate the GOA for feature selection. The GOA is a nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm that mimics the foraging behavior of grasshoppers. It aims to identify the most relevant attributes associated with CKD from the dataset. By selecting a subset of informative features, we enhance the model's predictive accuracy and reduce overfitting. During the training phase, the CNN learns to automatically extract relevant features and patterns associated with CKD from the selected attributes. Additionally, data preprocessing techniques such as normalization and feature scaling are applied to further improve the model's performance and generalizability. To evaluate the system's performance, we conduct experiments using a separate test dataset comprising 1,000 instances from the CKD dataset. The incorporation of the GOA for feature selection in our deep learning system not only improves its performance but also enhances interpretability. By identifying the most relevant attributes associated with CKD, we focus on key biomarkers and risk factors, enhancing the system's accuracy and providing valuable insights into the disease. Our research showcases the potential of deep learning algorithms, coupled with GOA-based feature selection, for early CKD detection. By leveraging the Kaggle CKD dataset and incorporating the GOA, we contribute to improving the accuracy and applicability of the system in real-world clinical settings. To handle Big data we are proposing to implement this problem on Pyspark one of the Big data computational environments for effective learning. In this platform, we can dynamically scale the infrastructure as per the demand of the data. Ultimately, our work aims to advance the early detection and management of CKD, leading to improved patient outcomes and more effective healthcare interventions.
