Anemia treatment

This research introduces novel methods for optimizing erythropoietin (EPO) dosing in chronic kidney disease patients with anemia. The methods incorporate hemoglobin response model uncertainty and applies physics-informed neural networks (PINN) to build a precise hemoglobin response model under EPO treatment, outperforming traditional modeling approaches. The work enhances EPO dosing precision for anemia management in chronic kidney disease patients.
