A breakthrough in Wearable Artificial Kidney
Dr. Mohammed Nabil Aboras and Dr. Issa Kawalit have developed a working prototype of a Wearable Artificial Kidney. The new design was made to over come problems found in previous attempts. According to them, this technique will provide continuous hemodialysis for the patients with End Stage Renal Disease, with mobility and independence, hence improved quality of life.
Since the early seventies, scientists has been actively promoting and working on a wearable artificial kidney for continuous dialysis. Such a kidney could allow the patient to have a more normal life style, eliminate treatment scheduling, and provide stable chemistries. Two partially successful wearable kidneys based upon hemofiltration have been devised. One required the patient to drink a liter of dialysate every hour to replace ultra filtrate loss, and the other regenerated the ultra filtrate with a REDY sorbent cartridge. Both had drawbacks, resulting in the patient shifting back to regular intermittent hemodialysis.
