>our solution to kidney failure is a machine circulating your blood
Is there really no alternative to dialysis other than a transplant?
Has there been any research into other ways to treat kidney failure or are your kidneys just fucked if you gotta go the dialysis route?

Tissue doesn't just grow back, if you kill your kidneys they're gone for good
Best hope for this is being able to grow cloned organs in vats so you can just transplant a new one in. More feasible than improving mechanical dialysis enough for it not to be a hassle

there is but doctors wouldn’t make as much money if they could stimulate kidney regrowth.

Once the little tubey sneeds get stuffed up with grack there is absolutely no way to unfuck them.
