Due to the dosage variance based on each patient’s unique physiology, nephrologists face numerous difficulties when determining the precise dosage needed for each patient. Therefore, in this research we aim to devise a machine learning algorithm to forecast the dosage of immunosuppressant drugs needed for different patients after kidney transplantation. Utilizing a random forest algorithm, the devised model is able to achieve accurate measurements for patient drug dosages.  \nKeywords—machine learning, artificial intelligence, kidney transplantation, immunosuppressants, predictive analytics  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nKidney transplants are widely viewed as the best treatment for end-stage renal disease and kidney failure, offering patients the chance to resume a healthy, normal lifestyle. The success and longevity of these transplants, however, depends on the effective management of immunosuppressant drugs post-transplantation [2] . After receiving a new kidney, the recipient’s immune system recognizes it as a foreign organ and may trigger an immune response to reject the kidney[3] . Immunosuppressant drugs, on the other hand, suppress the recipient’s immune system to prevent this rejection process and minimize the risk of infections and other complications. Therefore, ensuring proper and consistent immunosuppressant drug administration is essential to prolong its functionality and demands meticulous dosage specifications to balance the medication’s efficacy and adverse effects. Achieving this optimal dosage, however, is challenging due to the various patient-specific factors that play a role, making it an intricate puzzle for nephrologists to solve. Given the lack of kidneys available for donation, it is all the more necessary to handle every transplantation with the utmost care [5] .  \nIn recent years, the progress made in artificial intelligence and machine learning has opened up new possibilities in healthcare for both detection and prediction. With the incredible capabilities of AI and ML algorithms and models, healthcare professionals now have powerful tools that can aid in analyzing vast amounts of medical data with unparalleled precision and efficiency, thereby increasing the efficacy of  \nmedical prescriptions [6] . However, certain domains have yet to be completely immersed in the frontiers of AI and ML, with kidney transplantations, specifically medication dosage, being one of them.  \nTherefore, in this research we aim to leverage the power of machine learning and develop a novel algorithm to help predict the exact dosage of immunosuppressant drugs to be administered after kidney transplantation. To do this, a Random Forest Regression algorithm is utilized, that is trained on a diverse subset of data containing various features and data points, allowing the combination of predictions from multiple decision trees. Consequently, the algorithm achieved robust and accurate predictions, indicating the viability of the model.  \nII. METHODOLOGY  \nA.
