Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This protocol is a cross-sectional, case-controlled observational study investigating the tongue features of non-dialysis CKD and end-stage renal disease patients by using the noninvasive ATDS. CKD patients who meets inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled. Participants will be divided into 3 groups according to their renal function and accept dialysis or not, including a non-dialysis CKD group, end stage renal disease (ESRD) group and control group. Tongue images will be captured and 9 tongue features including tongue shape, tongue color, fur thickness, fur color, saliva, tongue fissure, ecchymosis, tooth mark, and red dots will be extracted and analyzed by ATDS.
This protocol aims to apply noninvasive ATDS to analyze tongue features of CKD patients.
