US-based Indian origin researcher Shuvo Roy successfully created the world’s first implantable artificial kidney. The organ no larger than a coffee cup has been designed to perform the kidney’s most vital functions like filtering toxins out of the bloodstream, regulate blood pressure and produce the allimportant vitamin D. the Roy-led team at University of California already tested the organ on small number of animals and expects to complete the testing on larger animals and humans in the coming five years. The introduction of the organ in the medical world will help to do away with kidney dialysis and will be a boon for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
