I guess I could really say that everything I am researching for my paper has been intiguing and I find fascinating. When you really look at kidney failure as a whole you realize that the effects that it takes on the human body is harsh enough, let alone the side effects from the medications. Your body becomes tired and you retain fluids and you loose even the energy it takes to climb a flight of stairs. But the one thing that really caught me by suprise is that on any one given day there is at least 85500 people waiting for a kidney transplant and it is always changing. A lot of people may end up dying before getting that opportunity at a second chance at life. It would be nice to see more people become donors and provide their organs to those that need them, and there are many lives that can be saved by only one person.
Just a side thought, could you imagine if someone was able to develop an artifical kidney just like they have an artifical heart. The lives that would be saved. I actually talked to a nephrologist about that one day, and because of the amount of functions that a kidney has, it is almost impossible. Well it maybe impossible to us, but maybe there is someone that will create one on accident and the lives that will be changed by it will be overwhelming. It might be a dream, but it's a good dream.
