With kidney failure, a mechanical solution exists in the form of an artificial kidney to remove the waste, it is called dialysis. Dialysis can be performed at home or at a medical site. An artificial liver does not exist and only a liver transplant must be preformed to save the body. Kidneys can also be transplanted!
