Chronic kidney illness represents one of the greatest chronic ailments, with a considerable rate of mortality around the globe. It is also one of the most critical illnesses nowadays, where an accurate diagnosis must be made as soon as feasible. Several studies have recently focused on creating computer-aided techniques to identify CKD in the early stages. In medical science, machine learning methods are now a valuable tool, contributing significantly to disease predictions. The primary purpose of the present research is to construct a reliable prognostic model using a hybrid of Grey Wolf and Particle Swarm Optimization for the choice of features to support classifiers on the CKD dataset. This approach helps reduce dimensionality and enhance model performance. In CKD data analysis, four ML algorithms are applied: KNN, NB, DT, and SVM. The experimental findings were implemented on the CKD dataset, and the results show that the suggested approach achieved exceptional matching performance (100%, 98.75%, 100%, and 100%), respectively. In this aspect, machine learning algorithms have proven to be promising and point towards the future of disease diagnosis.
