survive and what makes the su ering greater is the waiting list for kidney
transplants. Till now a solution still remains elusive for this disease.

But!! This is where medical technology steps in where scientists from the University
of California in San Francisco have invented the world’s first bionic kidney which
can replace damaged kidneys.

1 The bionic kidney can be inserted through common surgery

The world’s first bionic kidney can be inserted in a body by a common surgical
procedure and it has proved to work e iciently. It is now proving to be the perfect
replacement for a damaged kidney. The bionic kidney consists of several microchips
which is moved by the heart. The bionic kidney also filters out toxins from the blood
in the same way as a normal kidney.

Members of the research team Shuvo Roy of the University of California and William
H Fissel nephrologist and associate professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University
Medical Center have said that the invention is all set to give hope to the millions
su ering from kidney failure and who are on dialysis.

The main technology behind the bionic kidney is a microchip made by silicon
nanotechnology a process that is similar to microelectronics used in computers.
The microchips are a ordable and act as good filters. Each device will have about
15 microchips built in layers and will act as a sca old that holds living renal cells
which will grow in and around the microchip filters. These cells will mimic the
activity of a live kidney.

The main challenge of the procedure is to push blood through the device without
clotting or damage. Biomedical engineer Amanda Bucks is using fluid dynamics to
check that no area of the device will cause clotting or obstruct blood flow.
