Question

what is the artificial kidney explain

Answer 1

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), are developing an implantable artificial kidney that can closely replicate the functions of real kidneys.

If they are successful, the scientists’ work could help eliminate the need for dialysis.

Kidney transplants for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have a high rate of success.

About 93 percent of transplanted kidneys are still working after a year and 83 percent are functioning after three years.

But while more than 25,000 kidneys are transplanted each year, as of early 2016, more than 100,000 people were on the transplant waiting list in the United States.

Patients commonly wait five to 10 years for a suitable organ to become available.

Average life expectancy for dialysis patients is five to 10 years, although some have lived for decades.

Answer 2

Answer:

Artificial Kidney

If one kidney is damaged or removed for some reason, the other kidney alone is sufficient for excretory needs and the person can lead a normal life.

But failure of both kidneys will lead to death.

Artificial Kidney is also known as a dialysis machine.

The patient's blood is led from the radial artery in his arm through the machine where the urea and excess salts are removed and the purified blood is returned to a vein i the same arm.

Additional Information:

In cases of permanent damage to the kidneys, dialysis is to be repeated for about 12 hours twice a week.
