The Kidney Project team is striving to give kidney patients the health, mobility, and quality of life they need to move beyond the burdens of dialysis and organ shortage. The implantable bioartificial kidney (iBAK) replicates the key functions of a healthy kidney by the blood and a bioreactor that supports functional renal tubule cells to reabsorb water. Recently, we combined the hemofilter and bioreactor into a single prototype for the first time. We showed that the two components work together

Here is a video of one of The Kidney Project’s researchers explaining the two components of the implantable bioartificial kidney. The prototype of the artificial kidney is made possible with the help of ANSYS software, which is a set engineering simulation tools that allow our researchers to model the complex design features of the device. The intent of the implantable bioartificial kidney is to provide the benefits of a donor organ and eliminate the burdens of dialysis. To give: bit.ly//Givetok
