Abstract
About 45,000 persons each year die of kidney disease that might have been alleviated by a kidney transplant or by the artificial kidney. Although transplants work well in some instances, many patients require a second transplant. Also, such patients do not survive as long as persons undergoing dialysis. Yet dialysis entails great expense, and patients have recurring medical problems.
