About 85,000 people need kidney transplants each year, but fewer than 20,000 kidneys are available. To survive, people with chronic kidney disease must undergo dialysis for 4 hours at a time, multiple times each week. UCSF Professor of Bioengineering, Shuvo Roy, PhD, is leading a team of researchers to develop an implantable artificial kidney that could make dialysis a thing of the past.

Only way is to support science folks! I have PKD and i support PKD foundation financially from time to time because research is the ONLY way the causes of the disease will be well understood and the cure will be discovered one day.

I have been doing a lot of research on CKD/PKD, and RD/ESRD lately just to find that there is no REAL cure for these diseases. The filter above seems to be one of the best and most recent developments in the Kidney Disease Arena. My regular doctor has just referred me to a kidney specialist, and I have an appointment scheduled for Wednesday, July 13th. So far all I know is that I am in the 3rd stage kidney disease, and the outlook seems bleak.

Hope this news story helps your project. It's the first artificial implantation, not kidney though -- but hopefully an inspiration for kidney projects.
"Lab-made organ implanted for first time"
Please google search the above phrase and your will find the reported news story on July 7 of 2011.

This is very hopeful research for everyone facing kidney disease and transplant. It seems premature to extol the virtues of this before it has been tested, but we can all hope that this works as described.
