Core Tip
Core Tip: This letter commends a recent article in the World Journal of Clinical Cases that employs advanced machine learning to investigate factors affecting abnormal renal function in elderly Chinese individuals. The study emphasizes the significance of uric acid, age, hemoglobin, body mass index, sport hours, and systolic blood pressure. Its holistic approach, integrating lifestyle and inflammation, provides a nuanced understanding of chronic kidney disease risk factors. The letter proposes further exploration into mechanistic pathways of hyperuricemia, the link between anemia and renal function, and the association between body mass index and estimated glomerular filtration rate. Additionally, it advocates for investigating the impact of physical activity on renal health and the independent effects of blood pressure. The study contributes significantly to understanding chronic kidney disease, suggesting avenues for further research and interventions, and extends commendations to the authors and the journal.
