The machine pictured to the left is a kidney dialysis machine. It is a life saver for many Americans but it is also a ball and chain because a person on dialysis must stay attached to it in a room for several hours while the machine does its work. Hope is on the way.A research team at the University of San Francisco has developed a prototype of an implantable dialysis machine. If the prototype pans out, people suffering from kidney disease will no longer be tethered to a machine, but will take it with them while they lead their normal lives. Exciting technology and a ray of hope for thousands of kidney disease sufferers.
