vIndianz.com (Aug. 21, 2009) — American scientists are developing a Wearable Artificial Kidney or wearable dialysis machine for a person with end-stage renal disease, which provides continuous dialysis 24 hours a day.
Now dialysis patients do not need to spend hours on a dialysis machine at a hospital every week, they are free to do any work, while undergoing continuous dialysis that works like normal kidney function.
The Wearable Artificial Kidney is a miniaturized dialysis machine, worn as a belt—weighs about 10 pounds and is powered by two 9-volt batteries, according to a report published in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
The Wearable Artificial Kidney will reduce the mortality and misery of dialysis patients, as well as a substantial reduction in the cost of providing viable health care.
