Abstract:
Early diagnosis and thorough management techniques are crucial for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), a crippling and potentially fatal condition. Research has focused a lot on machine learning and deep learning systems for the detection of kidney diseases. Deep learning platforms like hidden layers, activation functions, optimizers, and epochs are also necessary for the automatic detection of these diseases. The proposed model achieved 99 % accuracy, with a precision, recall, and F1 score of 0.99, indicating highly reliable performance. Additionally, the model demonstrated strong agreement and robustness, as reflected in metrics such as the ROC AUC score of 0.9821 and Matthews Correlation Coefficient of 0.9727. The experiment used a publicly accessible dataset with 24 independent fields and independent values as chronic or not-chronic classes, building dense-layered deep neural networks based on an optimized architecture. The outcomes demonstrated that, when compared to the other models, the proposed model was the most accurate.

Kidney Structure
External Anatomy of the Kidney
The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space on either side of the vertebral column, protected posteriorly by the 11th and 12th ribs. The right kidney sits slightly lower than the left owing to the presence of the liver...

Anatomical Position and Dimensions
The kidneys are retroperitoneal organs positioned against the posterior abdominal wall on either side of the spine, roughly between the twelfth thoracic and third lumbar vertebrae. Each kidney is typically 10-12 cm long, 5-6 cm wide, and 3-4 cm thick, weighing about 150 grams.
