The development of artificial livers is an ongoing area of research, and while significant progress has been made, a fully functional and widely available artificial liver for human use is still in the experimental stages. Current efforts focus on creating bioengineered devices that can mimic liver functions, but practical applications may take several more years of research and clinical trials. Predictions vary, but it's likely that we won't see a reliable artificial liver for routine clinical use for at least a decade or more.

When was the artificial liver invented?
A working artificial liver hasn't been invented yet. They are currently working on "re-growing" a liver from stem cells. The reason that an artificial liver is so difficult, is because the liver is essentially a miniature chemical lab in the body. Unlike the heart (which just pumps blood) or the kidney (which filters blood), a liver is much more complex.
Why there is no artificial liver?
There is currently no artificial liver because the liver's complex functions, including metabolism, detoxification, and synthesis of essential proteins, are challenging to replicate in a machine. While researchers have made progress in developing artificial devices that can perform some liver functions, they do not fully mimic the intricate biological processes of a natural liver. Additionally, issues related to biocompatibility, immunological responses, and the need for a continuous supply of nutrients and oxygen complicate the development of a viable artificial liver solution. As a result, liver transplantation remains the most effective treatment for end-stage liver disease.

Why does kidney and liver failure often cause severe swelling and bloating?
Kidneys and the liver filter waste liquids from the body. If the body doesn't eliminate these from the blood stream thru urination then the body's blood supply will become toxic. If the kidneys and liver are not working or not working to a minimum proficiency than the body can not remove the waste and will die. 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!
