Predicting Dosage of Immunosuppressant Drugs After Kidney Transplantation Using Machine Learning

While kidney transplants are seen as the best treatment option for patients with end-stage renal disease and kidney failure, the organ’s health depends on the dosage of immunosuppressant drugs post-transplantation. Due to the dosage variance based on each patient’s unique physiology, nephrologists face numerous difficulties when determining the precise dosage needed for each patient. Therefore, in this research we aim to devise a machine learning algorithm to forecast the dosage of immunosuppressant drugs needed for different patients after kidney transplantation. Utilizing a random forest algorithm, the devised model is able to achieve accurate measurements for patient drug dosages.
