Abstract: The major intend of the nephrologists is to reduce the hardships faced by the patients affected with renal ailments. Kidney failure or renal failure is a condition where the function of kidney gets disabled/affected at large. This condition may neither be temporary or lifelong but in order to sustain in life, dialysis was adopted. The dialysis is a technical replacement of function of kidney and its process has two sectors; peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis. In considering the long term blood filtering process, the hemodialysis will be an efficient device in replacing the renal functioning, but it was currently performed in the stable mode. In undergoing the deep survey, our team has analyzed that the major problem in the dialysis is the duration, cost, difficulties faced by the patients. In order to overcome these barriers, the prototype of the portable technology has been built for highly supporting the patients. In order to fulfill the life supporting requirement, the “Miniaturized portable hemodialysis” device has been introduced which will be portable than the conventional ones.
Keywords: Kidney Failure, Hemodialysis, Miniaturization.
