“…148 The WAK has performed well in eight patients for a short term pilot study, with low but adequate urea clearance during continuous ambulatory hemodialysis. Low urea clearances were felt to be due to Qb and Qd rates achievable with a 9 volt miniaturized pump.…”

Current dialysis systems are not perfect considering the low efficacy and cumbersome process of actual practice. To overcome these shortcomings, bioartificial kidneys using renal tubule cells and wearable dialysis are promising ESRD treatments available in the near future. Toward clinical application, however, there are so many obstacles for commercial use of them. In this review, current status of bioartificial kidneys such as the renal tubule cell assist device (RAD) and wearable dialysis devices is presented with the comparison to show the advantages and disadvantages.

“…It is likely that wearable artificial kidneys will be commercially available for use in the near future (28). The "wear and tear" and other demands (e.g., the possibility of a higher infection rate) imposed on a vascular access as a result of prolonged use will present new challenges.…”
