MVIT Bangalore Abstract: Nowadays Kidney Disease is a growing problem in the world wide. Due to the high possibility of death within a short period of time, a patient must be hospitalized and appropriately cured. Many Data Mining techniques are used in the health care industry for predicting the Kidney Disease. The Data Mining techniques, namely SVM, Naive Bayes, Decision Tree, Classification, Neural Network are used to analyze the accuracy for the kidney related disease. Keywords: Data Mining, Chronic Kidney Disease, Data Mining Techniques 1. Introduction Data mining is the extraction of hidden predictive information from large databases, is a powerful new technology with great potential to help companies focus on the most important information in their data warehouses [11]. Data mining techniques can be classified into supervised learning technique and unsupervised learning technique. A supervised learning algorithm analyzes the training data and produces an inferred function, which can be used for mapping new examples. An optimal scenario will allow for the algorithm to correctly determine the class labels for unseen instances. This requires the learning algorithm to generalize from the training data to unseen situations in a “reasonable” way. In Data mining, the problem of unsupervised learning is that of trying to find hidden structure in unlabeled data. Since the examples given to the learner are unlabeled, there is no error or reward signal to evaluate a potential solution. 2. Kidney Disease Kidneys filter extra water and wastes out of blood and make urine. Kidneys also help control blood pressure so that the body can stay healthy. Kidney disease means that the kidneys are damaged and can't filter blood like they should. This damage can cause wastes to build up in the body. It can also cause other problems that can harm your health [12]. For most people, kidney damage occurs slowly over many years, often due to diabetes or high blood pressure. This is called chronic kidney disease. CKD includes condition which affects the kidney and if the kidney gets worse, waste can build to high level in the blood, which damage both kidney and leads to death. When someone has a sudden change in kidney function because of illness, or injury, or has taken certain medications—this is called acute kidney injury. Acute kidney failure happens when kidney suddenly lose the ability to eliminate excess salts, fluids and waste materials from the blood. It develops over a few hours or few days to week. This can occur in a person with normal kidneys or in someone who already has kidney problems. Kidney disease is a growing problem. More than 20 million Americans may have kidney disease and many more are at risk. Anyone can develop kidney disease, regardless of age or race. The main risk factors for developing kidney disease are:  Diabetes,  High blood pressure,  Cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) disease, and  A family history of kidney failure. 2.1 Five Types of Kidney Failure Acute Perennial Kidney Failure Insufficient blood flow to the kidneys can cause acute perennial kidney failure. The kidneys can’t filter toxins from the blood without enough blood flow. This type of kidney failure can usually be cured once the cause of the decreased blood flow is determined. Acute Intrinsic Kidney Failure Acute intrinsic kidney failure can be caused by direct trauma to the kidneys, such as physical impact or an accident. Causes also include toxin overload and ischemia, which is a lack of oxygen to the kidneys. Ischemia may be caused by:  Severe bleeding  Shock  Renal blood vessel obstruction  Glomerulonephritis, which is an inflammation of the tiny filters in your kidneys Chronic Perennial Kidney Failure When there isn’t enough blood flowing to the kidneys for an extended period of time, the kidneys begin to shrink and lose the ability to function. Chronic Intrinsic Kidney Failure This happens when there is long-term damage to the kidneys due to intrinsic kidney disease. Intrinsic kidney disease is caused by a direct trauma to the kidneys, such as severe bleeding or a lack of oxygen. Chronic Post-Renal Kidney Failure A long-term blockage of the urinary tract prevents urination, which causes pressure and eventual kidney damage. Paper ID: ART20171439 770
