A palm-sized artificial kidney weighs under a pound and uses a nanofiltration system modeled on the glomerulus to purify blood, with animal tests in 65 kg pigs at UCLA showing established blood flow and removal of about 1.5 liters of fluid per day. The device is miniaturized for patient-carried use, aims for FDA expedited access and a four-year path to market with a planned 250-patient clinical study, and a business model renting devices for $50/day generating ~$180M/year from 10,000 patients.
