Rejection is the primary factor affecting the functionality of a kidney post-transplant, where its prompt prediction of risk significantly influences therapeutic strategies and clinical outcomes. Current graft health assessment methods, including serum creatinine measurements and transplant kidney puncture biopsies, possess considerable limitations. In contrast, urine serves as a direct indicator of the graft’s degenerative stage and provides a more accurate measure than peripheral blood analysis, given its non-invasive collection of kidney-specific metabolite. This research entailed collecting fluorescent fingerprint data from 120 urine samples of post-renal transplant patients using hyperspectral imaging, followed by the development of a learning model to detect various forms of immunological rejection. The model successfully identified multiple rejection types with an average diagnostic accuracy of 95.56%.Beyond proposing an innovative approach for predicting the risk of complications post-kidney transplantation, this study heralds the potential introduction of a non-invasive, rapid, and accurate supplementary method for risk assessment in clinical practice.Copyright © 2024.
