I've worked 12 years in dialysis using some of the very equipment in this video. I'm ready for change and I know patients are too.

[@privateconfidential4775]

Is this patient still alive with this device inside him?

[@MrDeadsurfer]

Wow, thanks for being brave and being the guinea pig. I'm glad you had a good experience. God bless you my friend.

[@outdoorguy845]

that looks just as frustrating annoying and inconvenient as sitting in a chair for 4 hours. let's hope they perfect the true implantable artificial kidney.

[@savitabansal8795]

Very good information sir. May you live happy and healthy life. From India 🙏🙏🙏. My husband also on Dialysis before 12 years. I m really waiting too much for this device.

[@jennybaber3563]

I cannot wait unit this artificial kidney replaces dialysis and only wish my father could have lived long enough to be able to experience it rather than the torture of living on dialysis.

[@TheWildbill72585]

I hope too. 34 and I'm on dialysis. It's hard.

So this device is still in him 6 years later and he’s alive?

[@chandlerbing700]

why this product still not commercialised as yet ?

[@amitmht4]

Bcs it may have clotting of blood problem which is yet to be fixed

[@jennybaber3563]

Also, funding. right now Davita and Fresenius control Dialysis and if it were up to them they would continue to.

[@MrSen4lifE]

@@jennybaber3563 If it was up to them they'd sell this. Invention and regulation take time.

I wish the day comes when AI is used in artificial kidney to keep potassium and other minerals balance in human body and size of the artificial kidney is no larger than human kidney. I may not live to see the day but someone else will be there to live a healthier life. ❤
