The recent increase in numbers may be due to food habits or lack of physical exercise, necessitates a rapid kidney function monitoring system. Presently, it is determined by evaluating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) that is mainly dependent on serum creatinine value and demographic parameters and ethnic value. Attempted here is to develop ethnic parameter based on skin texture for every individual. This value when used in GFR computation, the results are much agreeable with GFR obtained through standard modification of diet in renal disease and CKD epidemiology collaboration equations. Once correlation between CKD and skin texture is established, classification tool using artificial neural network is built to categorise CKD level based on demographic values and parameter obtained through skin texture (without using creatinine). This network when tested gives almost at par results with the network that is trained with demographic and creatinine values. The results of this Letter demonstrate the possibility of non\u2010invasively determining kidney function and hence for making a device that would readily assess the kidney function even at home.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1049\/htl.2016.0098","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,23]],"date-time":"2017-03-23T00:31:12Z","timestamp":1490229072000},"page":"223-227","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Assessment of chronic kidney disease using skin texture as a key parameter: for South Indian population"],"prefix":"10.1049","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Madhanlal","family":"Udhayarasu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering Rajalakshmi Engineering College Chennai India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kalpana","family":"Ramakrishnan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering Rajalakshmi Engineering College Chennai India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Soundararajan","family":"Periasamy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology Sri Ramachandra University Chennai India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"265","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ASN.0000022011.35035.F3"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.ajkd.2009.02.011"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ndt\/gfm282"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2215\/CJN.03720708"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.ki.5002566"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrneph.2013.143"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/s1679\u201045082011ao1922"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1681\/ASN.2006040368"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1681\/ASN.2008010110"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0272\u20106386(85)80051\u20102"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000180580"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0025\u20105564(72)90003\u2010X"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_2","first-page":"199","article-title":"Estimation of blood urea (BUN) and serum creatinine level in patients of renal disorder","volume":"4","author":"Kamal A.","year":"2014","journal-title":"Indian J.
