14 Μαρ 2023 · Discoveries: How would you characterize the problems the implantable bioartificial kidney, termed iBAK, seeks to solve? Fissell: Our end goal is a bioengineered, mass-produced, universal-donor kidney to overcome the scarcity problem in kidney transplant. Full stop.
He is building an implantable artificial kidney with microchip filters and living kidney cells that will be powered by a patient’s own heart. “We are creating a bio-hybrid device that can mimic a kidney to remove enough waste products, salt and water to keep a patient off dialysis,” said Fissell.
Dr. William H. Fissell of Vanderbilt University holds a prototype artificial kidney cartridge. Treating patients with hemodialysis is costing us a fortune and leaving us sick. To answer this need, since 1998 we have worked to create an implantable artificial kidney.
The implantable artificial kidney uses human kidney cells from organs donated for transplantation, but which were later found to be unusable due to scarring. We culture regenerated cells from these failed transplants.
15 Φεβ 2016 · Vanderbilt University Medical Center nephrologist and Associate Professor of Medicine Dr. William H. Fissell IV, is making major progress on a first-of-its kind device to free kidney patients from dialysis. He is building an implantable artificial kidney with microchip filters and living kidney cells that will be powered by a patient’s own heart. We are creating […]
The Vanderbilt Transplant Center provides more lifesaving transplants than any other program in Tennessee. We perform more than 300 kidney transplants each year. Our specialists have the expertise and advanced training to perform even the most complex transplant procedures with excellent outcomes.
Loss of the von Hippel Lindau gene uniquely affects kidney cancer by upregulating a tumor-friendly chemokine. The Kidney Project team at Vanderbilt University Medical Center is underway on developing an artifical kidney for implant.
