Researchers at Keck School of Medicine of USC may have the answer to the kidney shortage. I think that we have a system here which could be the first system that we do synthesize a new organ, said Dr. Andy McMahon, Keck School of Medicine of USC.
The goal for the team of researchers is to synthesize a kidney with sufficient function to keep a person off dialysis; a treatment that is life-saving, but difficult. Lori Hartwell was on dialysis for 13 years. It s very burdensome and so if you could have an artificial kidney that would allow you to live the life you were meant to live and get up and do everything you wanted it would be a huge breakthrough, said Hartwell, president of the Renal Support Network.
