The future of the artificial kidney [PDF]
Indian Journal of Urology, 2021 End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is increasing worldwide. In India, diabetes mellitus and hypertension are the leading causes of chronic kidney disease and ESRD. Hemodialysis is the most prevalent renal replacement therapy (RRT) in India.

An integrated model using the Taguchi method and artificial neural network to improve artificial kidney solidification parameters [PDF]
BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2019 Background Hemodialysis mainly relies on the “artificial kidney,” which plays a very important role in temporarily or permanently substituting for the kidney to carry out the exchange of waste and discharge of water. Nevertheless, a previous study on the

Proceedings of the Association of Clinical Biochemists, 1959 The use of the artificial kidney is entirely safe, and when used as an adjunct to the dietary regime of patients with acute reversible renal failure it can be life-saving in some instances. The patients who fall into the moderate group usually require a dialysis 7–10 days after the onset of renal failure.
