I've seen the pain and eventual death 2 close family members have had to suffer due to Kidney failure and I also will face the same as my kidneys continue to gradually fail, the complications are bad and side effects can lead to death alone, the limitations of sometime like this artificial Kidney are absolutely miniscule compared to the benefits on offer.
My kidneys are failing as well. I am currently being evaluated to be on transplant list. Artificial kidney is an exciting development. It wont replace the need for transplant but will definitely improve quality of life for people on dialysis.
