05 Jun Bionic kidney soon replaces dialysis!
Researchers believe that the replica of the natural kidney will make life easier for millions of people whose health depends on dialysis, and that it will solve a major problem of insufficient number of organs for transplantation.
Replica of the natural kidney, so-called. bionic kidney, is made using silicon nanotechnology. This bionic kidney consists of microchips that function as natural filters. They are able to perform filtration of harmful substances and toxins from the blood in the same way as healthy kidneys, as well as to maintain the chemical balance of the blood.
Implantation of bionic kidney will be performed by routine operational method, and scientists assure that the chances of rejection of the bionic kidney is zero, which is not the case during transplantation of donor organs. The biggest advantage of a bionic kidney is that it does not require the application of immunosuppressive therapy that is necessary in cases of organ transplants, because there is no chance for its rejection. Rejection of transplanted organs is always possible and it further complicates the life and health of the patient. This is way the bionic kidney is such an incredible discovery!
