Researchers have developed a feature-guided zero-shot framework utilizing large language models (LLMs) for early screening of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This approach bypasses the need for extensive labeled datasets or resource-intensive pathology tests by focusing on a compact, clinically relevant subset of readily available community-based features. Evaluations across multiple LLMs, including LLaMA-3, Qwen-3, Mistral, and GPT-4o-mini, demonstrated that using this selected feature set consistently improved performance and generalizability across different datasets and countries, suggesting LLMs can offer a practical complement to traditional ML methods for CKD screening.
