Dialysis is a life-sustaining treatment for patients with end-stage kidney
disease. In a different context, for many patients this treatment is the focal
point around which their life revolves, not only due to the time spent travelling
to and from treatment sessions and the time dedicated to the dialysis treatment
itself, but also due to the accompanying dietary and fluid restrictions and
medication burden. Wearable and portable dialysis devices could potentially
improve patient quality of life by allowing patients to continue with their daily
activities of life while undergoing dialysis, as well as by loosening-or removing
entirely-dietary and fluid restrictions and reducing pill burden. Advances in
nanotechnology manufacturing coupled with advances in electronics and
miniaturisation have allowed a new generation of wearable and portable dialysis
devices to be developed which are now undergoing large animal and patient
clinical trials. We are therefore potentially at a new dawn in the treatment of
dialysis patients with the first generation of wearable and portable dialysis
devices, which may well revolutionise the treatment and quality of life for
patients with end-stage kidney disease.
