End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a serious complication of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and has a significant negative effect on patient health. Early and accurate detection is essential but difficult to achieve in clinical settings. This study introduces an Optimized Grey Wolf Convolutional Decision Tree (OGW-ConvDT) classifier to predict the risk of ESRD by combining advanced machine learning techniques with clinical laboratory data. The model uses Z-score standardization for data normalization, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to reduce data dimensions, and the SelectKBest method for selecting the most important features. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used to extract spatial features, and a Decision Tree (DT), optimized using the Grey Wolf (GW) algorithm, performs the final classification. The proposed method was tested on a publicly available dataset from Kaggle and achieved strong performance: precision (0.996), F1-score (0.996), recall (0.997), accuracy (0.997), AUC (0.999), specificity (0.959), log loss (0.009), and AUC-PRC (0.824). These results show that the OGW-ConvDT model performs better than traditional methods and provides an effective and reliable tool for early ESRD risk detection in T2DM patients.
