About
The bioartificial kidney, the size of a coffee cup, consists of two modules that work together to get rid of waste. First, a hemofilter module processes incoming blood to create a watery ultrafiltrate that contains dissolved toxins, as well as sugars and salts. Second, a bioreactor of kidney cells processes the ultrafiltrate and sends the sugars and salts back into the blood. In the process, water is also reabsorbed back into the body, concentrating the ultrafiltrate into "urine," which will be directed to the bladder for excretion.
