This project represents a state-of-the-art hybrid AI system that intelligently combines:
A sophisticated Stacking Ensemble leveraging three powerful gradient boosting algorithms (CatBoost, XGBoost, and LightGBM) trained on 40+ clinical features to perform comprehensive risk assessment.
A medically-validated staging system based on eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) values, ensuring outputs align perfectly with established medical guidelines.
Result: A powerful screening tool that provides both AI-driven insights and clinically accurate staging, making it suitable for real-world healthcare applications.
