Nephrology News &amp; Issues is not involved in the development of the device and cannot help anyone become a participant in a clinical trial.<br \/>\nVanderbilt University Medical Center nephrologist and associate professor of medicine William H. Fissell IV, MD, is making major progress on an implantable artificial kidney. The device uses microchip filters and living kidney cells that will be powered by a patient\u2019s own heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are creating a bio-hybrid device that can mimic a kidney to remove enough waste products, salt and water to keep a patient off dialysis,\u201d said Fissell. Fissell says the goal is to make it small enough, roughly the size of a soda can, to be implanted inside a patient\u2019s body.<\/p>\n<p>The key to the implantable artificial kidney is a microchip, Fissell said.\u201cIt\u2019s called silicon nanotechnology. It uses the same processes that were developed by the microelectronics industry for computers,\u201d said Fissell.<\/p>\n<p>more about this please visit :<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nephrologynews.com\/implantable-artificial-kidney-project-making-progres\">http:\/\/www.nephrologynews.com\/implantable-artificial-kidney-project-making-progres<\/a>s\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The implantable artificial kidney is being developed jointly by the University of California San Francisco and Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
