The Artificial Kidney (book)

"The Artificial Kidney" by Igor J. Cosic explores the development and function of devices like dialysis machines that replicate kidney functions. The book details how these machines filter waste, excess fluids, and electrolytes from the blood for patients with kidney failure. It discusses technological advances, biological principles, and the challenges of creating artificial organs that can sustain life. The work aims to bridge scientific understanding with medical application, providing insights into how artificial kidneys help improve patient outcomes and the ongoing efforts to develop more effective, biocompatible devices.
