ARTIFICIAL ORGANS: With a bioartificial kidney already on its way to human trials, UCSF researcher Shuvo Roy is eyeing another human organ.

Holy shit! This is super cool!

World’s First Artificial Kidney Is All Set To Replace Dialysis in 2-3 Years. Here is how it works !

A team of university scientists has developed the world’s first artificial kidney technology to be implanted in the body. Their bio-hybrid approach uses living kidney cells in tandem with a series of specialized microchips powered by the human heart to filter waste from the blood stream.

The National Kidney Foundation estimates that over 100,000 patients are on the waiting list for a donor kidney, and over 3,000 are added list each year. The average patient spends 3.6 years waiting for a viable transplant, and may be treated with dialysis while they wait, but only one in three dialysis patient survives longer thanfive years without a transplant.

Transplanted organs from deceased or living donors must be carefully matched in order to avoid tissue rejection, but an artificial solution could potentially bypass these complications and be manufactured to better meet the demand. To address this unmet need, William Fissell from Vanderbilt and Shuvo Roy from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) launched The Kidney Project.

“We can leverage Mother Nature’s 60 million years of research and development and use kidney cells that fortunately for us grow well in the lab dish, and grow them into a bioreactor of living cells,” explained Fissell in a recent article published by Research News @ Vanderbilt. Fissell described the device as a “Santa Claus System,” because it can reliably distinguish between waste chemicals and those nutrients a body should reabsorb.

செயற்கைச் சிறுநீரகம்… தெரியுமா? உங்களுக்கு !

இந்தியாவில் சிறுநீரக மாற்று அறுவை சிகிச்சை தொடங்கி 50 ஆண்டுகள் ஆகிவிட்டன. ஆனாலும், இந்த சிகிச்சை தேவைப் படுவோர் அனைவருக்கும் சிகிச்சை கிடைக்க வழியில்லை. நடைமுறையில் இந்தியாவில் வருடத்துக்குச் சுமார் 3 லட்சம் பேருக்குச் சிறுநீரகம் தேவைப் படுகிறது.

ஆனால், 7,500 பேருக்குத்தான் சிறுநீரகம் கிடைக்கிறது. இந்தச் சூழலில் அமெரிக்காவிலிருந்து செயற்கைச் சிறுநீரகம் (Bio artificial kidney) கண்டு பிடிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளதாக ஒரு புதிய செய்தி வந்துள்ளது.

Implantable Artificial Kidney - Possible Solution for Dialysis Patient

Artificial kidney can offer relief from the pain of dialysis to the patients with chronic renal disease. Learn more about this technology and how it helps.

After working for long 20 years, researchers have developed an artificial kidney technology which is expected to relieve dialysis patients from pain. Additionally, it will also address the issue of lack of adequate kidneys available for transplant. Let’s find out more on this.

The Hospital for Perfect Cure in Kidney Related Problem

Primus hospital is a multi specialty hospital and has the world best doctors to take care of any medical disorder and disease. Our Nephrology departments are a one stop shop for all of the dialysis guest needs. We assure that all our patients lead lives close to normal as possible. We encourage our entire patient to do regular activities like other which includes work, travel and fun. We provide quality dialysis at affordable prices.

The dialysis performs the functioning of the kidney by cleansing the blood and removing wastes and excess water. These two types of dialysis are hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Primus hospital is one of the best hospital for dialysis treatment and kidney dialysis. In case of hemodialysis the patient’s blood is passed through an artificial kidney machine. A dialysis machine and a special filter called an artificial kidney, or a dialyzer, are used to clean your blood. To get the blood into the dialyzer, the doctor needs to make an access, or entrance, into your blood vessels. For this a minor surgery, usually to your arm is done which allows blood to travel through soft tubes to the dialysis machine where it is cleaned as it passes through a special filter, called a dialyzer. In case of hemodialysis the patient’s access is one of the following. The first one is a fistula, an access made by joining an artery and vein in your arm. In case of grafting, an access is made by using a soft tube to join an artery and vein in your arm.

In peritoneal dialysis, the blood is filtered within the patient's abdomen and the dialysis fluid there is exchanged through a catheter. In case of soft plastic tube it is placed in your belly by surgical procedure. Next a sterile cleansing fluid is put into your belly through this catheter. After the filtering process is finished, the fluid leaves your body through the catheter. Generally there are two kinds of peritoneal dialysis which is continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and automated peritoneal dialysis.

In case of CAPD which is machine-free procedure one can go about with his normal activities such as work or school. The treatment is a carried out by placing about two quarts of cleansing fluid into your belly and later draining it. This is done by hooking up a plastic bag of cleansing fluid to the tube in your belly. Once this exchanging phenomenon is over the fluid is drained from your belly and thrown away. Most of the procedure is done three four or five times in a 24-hour period while you are awake during normal activities.
