hi judy i have had renal failure since 1994 and on dialysis for a good few years. my wife then donated one of her kidney to me can't thank her enough. but after 2 weeks it failed the surgeon missed an artery so it was back on dialysis untill i was called in to be told there was a kidney if i wanted it you can guess what the answer was. alls been well untill the last few months when it was only working at 16% still not on dialysis yet but not far off thats why i am interested in a artifcial one, it's been talked about for years but things seem to be looking upat last. vi would gladly be a guinea pig for them good look steve belk x
