Implantable bioartificial kidney is designed to attach to the patient's systemic

The goal of the implanted bioartificial kidney is to deliver all of the health benefits of a kidney transplant while addressing the scarcity of donors. The device removes uremic toxins from the bloodstream while also simulating tubular activities including selective water and salt absorption. The bioartificial kidney processes blood continuously after a single surgery to establish a permanent blood connection, reducing the hassles and morbidities associated with intermittent hemodialysis.

In a patient whose kidneys have failed, the bioartificial kidney helps remove hazardous wastes, excess salts, and water, control blood pressure, and maintain the balance of sodium potassium salts. The bioartificial kidney is a two-stage system that includes a hemofiltration unit for toxin removal and a renal cell bioreactor for other biological functions of a healthy kidney. Implantable bioartificial kidneys, on the other hand, must be able to regulate blood flow, have high-efficiency ultrafiltration membranes, and stable essential cells in order to function as a natural kidney. It can simulate renal function and reduce the need for dialysis. Continuous blood filtration would be possible with an artificial kidney.
