What is Wearable and Implantable Renal Replacement Therapy about?

Hemodialysis is the first engineered replacement for a vital organ. In the past five decades, hemodialysis has evolved from a heroic rescue therapy in acute wartime kidney injury to standard-of-care treatment for chronic renal failure. The past two decades have reemphasized the importance of renal replacement therapy as therapeutic interventions for common renal diseases have stagnated, and the number of patients dependent on dialysis has continued to grow. At the same time, therapeutic nihilism about dialysis is slowly being dispelled as intensive prescriptions, such as quotidian and nocturnal schedules, appear to alleviate some of the residual syndromes of dialysis. Here, we review challenges in renal replacement and new technologies.
