Development of an Artificial Kidney: KidneyX Prize Presentation | Ira Kurtz, MD, FRCP, FASN
Dr. Kurtz (Distinguished Professor of Medicine at UCLA) is working with US Kidney Research Corporation to develop a portable and ultimately implantable artificial kidney. The technology developed by the team is unique since there is no need for dialysis or purified water. For their new prototype device they won the prestigious KidneyX prize in 2021.

You said it should be ready in 2 years. Well that was 2 years ago! When will this actually be available to patients?! When it’s already too late and we’re all dead?! That’s going to do a lot of good! Get this up, running and passed by the fda asap, please! Thank you for your work, though. We are waiting and hoping this becomes reality soon!
Thank you for your work Dr Kurtz.

@Padraigp No. But they need to stop giving billions of dollars to the stupid wars and help the medical sciences to develop new cures. They do not want because Medecine = Business, Doctors = Businessman, We = Victims.
Very impressive work Dr. Kurtz to advance care of kidney failure patients. This is needed understanding the critical organ shortage from deceased and living donors.

You don't reject metal objects just other peoples dna like a kidney transplant. But they can already grow a kidney from your stem cells. Just you can't afford that.
