Hope for patients as research on artificial kidney progresses

The device replicates many functions of healthy kidneys and patients using it will not require immunosuppression drugs.

People with kidney failure can soon look forward to a future without dialysis or the endless wait for a kidney transplant organ.

If a bioartificial kidney project that is still under trial is successfully completed, it will produce a compact device that attaches to the circulatory system and remove toxins to the bladder as waste and removes the burden of dialysis and organ shortage.
