Abstract: Micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) plays a major role in the clinical field and it is used to create new contrivance related to both biology and medicine and the contrivances saving people from mortal. MEMS have an ability to integrate several components into single device. In nephrology MEMS are used for haemodialysis. If kidney is not functioning properly then it leads to chronic kidney diseases (CKD). CKD treatment can ameliorate patient from end stage of kidney failure, which is sufficient to cause mortal without haemodialysis or a kidney transplant. In artificial filtering (haemodialysis), MEMS technology is a part of vascular access. MEMS based pressure sensors are implanted into a plastic tube or coil and are attached to arteries and veins of your arm and this is used to filter the blood of kidney failure patient. The paper briefs about haemodialysis, renal replacement system, acute renal failure and MEMS in nephrology.
