Abstract
Liver failure is a serious medical condition that can have life-threatening consequences. The liver is responsible for filtering blood and performing many other important functions. With the rise of machine learning in healthcare, there is an opportunity to use past datasets to predict liver failure early on. The main focus of this research work is to explore the application of supervised machine learning algorithms in predicting liver failure. The study involved pre-processing techniques such as univariate and bivariate analysis, and data visualization to gain better insights into the features of the dataset. Using these techniques, a multi-class classification model was built with machine learning algorithms, and the performance metrics of accuracy, F1 score, and recall were used to compare the algorithms. The results show that machine learning algorithms can accurately predict liver failure and can be an effective tool in healthcare. This study demonstrates the potential of machine learning in predicting liver failure and can contribute to the development of future models in the field. The results of this research study indicates that the proposed algorithm achieved an accuracy of 94.48%. The proposed work will be beneficial to researchers in this field and inspire them to build more advanced and accurate models.
