Abstract
Small-sized artificial kidney is desirable for dialysis patients in order for them to unburden the load and to live as well as healthy people.
In this respect we pursued high performance of dialysis membrane and have developed high permeability Bemberg hollow fiber with 5μm in thickness. Also, we are developing a portable dialysis equipment of 6.5kg in weight, and wearable artificial kidney for simplified use.
In the future we can expect the appearance of an implantable artificial kidney by promoting and extending our research work.
