From fundus to filtration: AI-driven retinal phenotyping as a framework for non-invasive prediction of kidney pathological categories (the “virtual renal biopsy” concept)– a narrative review

Paper No results yet Peer reviewed

Key takeaways

This review describes an idea called a "virtual kidney biopsy." Computer programs (artificial intelligence) would read photos of the back of the eye to guess what kind of kidney disease a person has, without a needle biopsy. It is an overview of an idea, not a new study, so there are no results yet. The method has not been proven to replace a real biopsy.
