Fuzzy System for Diagnosis and Treatment of Kidney Diseases

Medical diagnosis and treatment is very vague and complex decision task. A large number of symptoms contribute in the decision, making it complex. Also the decision factors are fuzzy in nature. A small mistake in the interpretation of the severity of the symptoms may lead to major mistake in the treatment decision resulting into serious complications. Fuzzy logic is a widely used theory to deal with this fuzziness [1]. This paper does focus on the design of fuzzy expert system for the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases. The paper is composed of four sections. Section I gives overview of kidney disease and some of the software?s available for its diagnosis. We describe the design of the developed fuzzy system FSDTKD in Section II. Section III does discuss the applications and advantages of the developed system. The paper concludes in Section IV with summarization and further directions to extend the work.
