The intricate pathophysiology of SA-AKI requires vigilant clinical monitoring and appropriate, prompt intervention. While traditional statistical analyses have identified severe risk factors for SA-AKI, the results have been inconsistent across studies. This has led to growing interest in leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to predict SA-AKI better. ML can uncover complex patterns beyond human discernment by analyzing vast datasets. Supervised learning models like XGBoost and RNN-LSTM have proven remarkably accurate at predicting SA-AKI onset and subsequent mortality, often surpassing traditional risk scores. Meanwhile, unsupervised learning reveals clinically relevant sub-phenotypes among diverse SA-AKI patients, enabling more tailored care. In addition, it potentially optimizes sepsis treatment to prevent SA-AKI through continual refinement based on patient outcomes.

AI/ML allows early risk detection, personalized management, optimal treatment strategies, and collaborative learning for SA-AKI management. Future directions include real-time patient monitoring, simulated data generation, and predictive algorithms for timely interventions.
