AI is emerging as a transformative force in nephrology, just as it is in other medical specialties. This paper offers a comprehensive exploration of the pivotal contributions AI is making to the field. It delves into how AI is transforming the diagnosis, treatment, and care of patients with kidney-related conditions. 

The following are the key contributions of AI to nephrology, as detailed in the paper:

• Enhancing early detection and monitoring
  AI analyzes critical biomarkers such as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and serum creatinine, enabling early identification of kidney disease progression. 
• Optimizing dialysis
  AI systems continuously monitor and adjust dialysis treatment parameters in real time. Remote monitoring tools, particularly in peritoneal dialysis, are invaluable for elderly or rural patients, ensuring effective and convenient care.
• Personalized medicine
  By integrating genetic data, patient histories, and medication profiles, AI facilitates personalized treatment plans. It predicts adverse drug reactions, reduces risks, and tailors therapies for enhanced patient safety.
• Developing artificial kidneys
  AI plays a role in advancing next-generation artificial kidneys. Innovations include the use of biocompatible materials, real-time monitoring technology, and predictive systems, providing new hope for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
• Streamlining healthcare delivery
  AI optimizes resource allocation, reduces unnecessary medical interventions, and ensures efficient healthcare delivery. This improves operational efficiency while maintaining high standards of care across nephrology practices.
