Kidney of Gold

Posted: Wednesday, June 8th, 2011
What would it take to get you to give up one of your kidneys? A small car? A trip to Fiji? The health of someone you love? For one young man in China, all he needed in exchange for his kidney was an iPad 2. That, and $3,400 bucks. Folks are having a field day on Twitter, here are some of my favorite tweets: “He should’ve waited for the iPad 3″ by @therealnickmack and “I’ve had a productive week, Got a new Kidney and managed to get rid of a faulty iPad” by @sickipediabot.
Lite Brite Kidneys

If you’ve watched Planet Earth, you’ve probably seen the glow worms that light up the Waitomo Caves in New Zealand with their jewel-like snares, but did you know that the worm’s luminescence comes from an organ that is equivalent to the human kidney? I wish my kidney had a light switch too.
Awesome Organ Tees

Oh my my, look, it’s Hello Kidney, from Wrongtees.com! Agggh, it’s the best thing ever! I also spent some time on Threadless yesterday looking at other awesome organ-related shirts, and found this belly shirt by mioke. It’s not only anatomically correct, it also happens to be gorgeous. We like the way she left out the lungs and heart to focus on all the gut-area organs. And we’re not sure who designed this organs-as-hi-fi stereo-system shirt, it’s put out by Hybrid Apparel, but we love it! {Thanks, Russ}
A Renal Winner
Posted: Thursday, September 24th, 2009
While dialysis has always been more of a necessity than a source of enjoyment, it no longer has to take up your whole day sitting in a clinic or at home. The Wearable Artificial Kidney (WAK) is a complete dialysis system attached to a belt. While style is not a key feature here, mobility definitely is. The WAK allows patients with severe renal failure to enjoy the everyday pleasures of life while receiving dialysis 24/7. The belt weighs in at a mere 10 pounds including its power source of two 9-volt batteries and claims to be light enough to use while running, walking, or even riding a bike! You can read more about the benefits of the WAK at Gizmag.
