An implantable, artificial kidney 

9 years ago! Where is this thing?

I had a kidney trasplant 4yrs ago. I went through my rejection Dec 29 2014 and I'm currently back on dialysis. When I first heard that I was going thru a rejection I wanted to kill myself. I've waited 10yrs for that kidney; Ive been on dialysis since i was 21 and I finally get one and then lose it smh. I've been asking this question for yrs. "Of all the technology in the world being more advanced...TV's being super thin, smartphones, Hybrid super cars ect. Why haven't they'd come up with a artificial kidney"? Thank you have given me the greatest hope. And I am proud to live in such an age

Dr. Shuvo Roy, I applaud your vision. I want one of your artificial kidneys as soon as they're safe. I'm currently on peritoneal dialysis, and I did hemo for a year. I have a good fistula. If you do a trial in Southern California and need a guinea pig I'm ready to go.

The problem is that big dialysis corporations are making billions every year from Dialysis and they will never allow this to happen. They wouldn't be able to afford their lavish lifestyles anymore. It will eventually happen, but you can believe they will fight it the whole way.

Thanks Roy I know people who are waiting to live their life again....

This is so exciting. I hope this comes through in my lifetime.

I hope I will get one to live healthy life again. how long this bio kidney will take to give us life again.? please give us hope.

When will come in market

Wonderful work! I wish you the best of luck in your research and see that your well on you way to creating a life saving peace of technology. This is the research that gets me excited about our future! Not only will this impact the lives of patients but it may lead to the ability of replacing other failing organs (hart lungs) with low to no risk of rejection. Bravo

Great news! I talked to my neurologist and he says that's a gud thing! Keep me in mind! Keep working on it! I would love to be a trial patient for the artificial kidney!

Is this still in development or is this available now? Is so, what type of insurance will cover it?

Whatever happened with this??? It's like it just dropped off never heard from again... Where can we find updates on it's progress

people has gone to heaven to waiting this device, still it has not launched since 13 year research, they commit thet they has innovate this product

I think they should hurry up, not only because there is millions of people needing something like this, but by the fact there is competition and technology, specially the organ´s regeneration through stem cells could let them behind

Over time, the number of people suffering from kidney failure in the world is increasing. Research into possible kidney replacements of this kind is encouraged. Please tell us the status of this research currently.

You are awesome people!

BABA, GOOD BLESS YOU.,SEKHAR MAMA.

Everyone pray to lord for the success of this project. and i am sure it will be very soon.

Dear Dr. Shuvo Roy, I'm writing from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. My father is 71 years old, have Diabetes Mellitus (type 2) and for about 8 years did hemodialysis therapy. Nowadays he is doing peritoneal dialysis. My preoccupation resides in the fact that he, for four times in the last 10 years, had sepsis by staphyllococcus aureus and the risk of a new infection is always surrounding him. Is there any chance to apply him as a volunteer for a transplant? Congratulations, Christiano

I think it will take another 50 years to make it.Until then just sit with hope.And pray to God
