It consists of numerous microchips and is moved by the heart.<\/p>\n<p>Like the normal kidneys, it is able to filter waste and toxins from the bloodstream. The project was unveiled by Willian Vanderbilt Fissels and Shuvo Roy from the University of California, offering renewed hope for millions of kidney dialysis patients.<\/p>\n<p>Now, some of you may be wondering \u201cBut, what if the body rejects it?\u201d, but, the scientists assure us that the chances of rejection are zero!

The first prototype is the size of a coffee cup and can balance the levels of sodium and potassium in the body while regulating blood pressure. The project is wonderful news for any dialysis patient.<\/p>\n<p>In the beginning (November 2015), the scientists received $6 million from the Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, and it\u2019s safe to say that the money were well spent. The scientists have high hopes for the bionic kidney, and the lead researcher, Dr. Victor Gura, says that the device will be available for sale in only 2 years.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Natural remedies are indeed very powerful, but there are times when we have to turn to modern technology.
