(A) Conceptual drawing of implantable artificial kidney (IAK) in situ. (Figure modified from Kim et al., 2015 ((Kim et al., 2015), with permission from Frontiers in Bioscience.) The two candidate designs, parallel (B) and serpentine (C), are shown from two angles. Both devices have 20 channels to house nano-pore filters. The channels are arranged in parallel for the parallel device and in series for the serpentine device. (D) Photograph of experimental set up for in vivo determination of pressure boundary conditions. Arrows indicate flow direction.
