Fluorescence spectroscopic profiling of urine samples for predicting kidney transplant rejection by Zhe Yang, Minrui Zhang, Xianduo Li, Zhipeng Xu, Yi Chen, Xiaoyu Xu, Dongdong Chen, Lingquan Meng, Xiaoqing Si, Jianning Wang

“…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.…”
