artificial kidney









































artificial kidney is often a synonym for hemodialysis, but may also, refer to renal replacement therapies (with exclusion of kidney transplantation) that are in use and/or in development. this article deals with bioengineered kidneys/bioartificial kidneys that are grown from renal cell lines/renal tissue.









































the first successful artificial kidney was developed by willem kolff in the netherlands during the early 1940s. kolff was the first to construct a working dialyzer in 1943.

artificial kidney
the implantable artificial kidney is a second project that is being co-developed by a nephrologist named william h. fissell iv, md, from the vanderbilt university medical center with professor shuvo roy from the university of california, san francisco. fissell and his colleagues have been working on the implantable artificial kidney for over a decade but recently received a 6-million-dollar grant in november 2015 to further continue the research and development of the project. the goal of this project is to create a bio-hybrid device that can imitate the functions of a healthy kidney by removing enough waste products to keep a patient from needing dialysis treatment. the key to the success of this device is the use of silicon nanotechnology and the microchip which is precious and can act as a natural filter. fissell and his team have designed each pore (of the filter) to perform a specific function or task. the microchips will also act as a platform for which living kidney cells will reside and grow on and around the filters with the goal of imitating the natural functions of the kidney. the bio-hybrid device will not be in reach of the body’s immune response which allows it to be protected against being rejected by the patient's body. the device will be designed to be small enough to fit inside a patient’s body that will successfully operate with the patient’s natural blood flow. fissel and his research team continue to make progress and they expected the implantable artificial kidney would enter human trials by 2017.
