A Fully Functional, Bioartificial Kidney In the Near Future

The kidney may be one of the most underestimated organs: it’s incredibly complex, and responsible for five to seven key functions in the body. In addition to producing urine and removing toxins from the blood, it regulates blood pressure, produces hormones, protects the body’s immune system, and controls blood pH levels. When kidneys fail, all of these functions are lost. Press play to discover: How an organoid differs from a bioartificial organ like the kidney being developed as part of The Kidney Project In what ways the approach taken by The Kidney Project fundamentally differs from other approaches to the treatment of kidney failure What’s needed in order to get this artificial kidney in clinical trials, and when it might be available to patients Shuvo Roy is a professor of bioengineering at UCSF whose work is centered around the development of a surgically implantable bioartificial kidney capable of providing constant treatment to patients who are currently on dialysis, an...

Better Dialysis on Its Way Prabir Roy-Chaudhury Talks Improving Treatment for Kidney Failure

One of the biggest challenges is identifying kidney disease in the early and middle stages, says Prabir Roy-Chaudhury. He works to emphasize the importance of simple blood and urine tests for high-risk populations for earlier diagnosis, but also strives for better treatment once kidney failure sets in. He discusses: Why his main interest is dialysis vascular access dysfunction, What are common issues, such as cardiovascular complications in kidney disease patients, How current tests like the GFR and albumin amounts are calculated and why they determine the kidney failure risk equation, and What should patients prioritize in treatment, from Vitamin D importance to new drugs and technologies. Prabir Roy-Chaudhury is a professor of medicine in the Division of Nephrology and Hypertension and co-director of UNC Kidney Center and specializes in uremic vascular biology. He brings listeners online with the basics of kidney disease, who’s at risk, and what’s being done to make tre...
