Abstract
The development of a wearable device that can replace conventional dialysis in patients needing chronic renal replacement therapy is not as far-fetched as it once was. Ronco et al. describe technological achievements, propose future research directions and discuss the clinical, technical and socioeconomic reasons for continuing the push to realize the wearable artificial kidney.Entities:
