Kolff’s machine is considered the first modern drum dialyzer, and it remained the standard for the next decade. After World War II ended, Kolff donated the five artificial kidneys he’d made to hospitals around the world, including Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York.

With the advent of the Kolff Rotating Drum dialysis machine in 1943, a new era of treatment for kidney failure began—which has saved hundreds of thousands of lives. Here, we share a brief history of dialysis from its start to the present. The first practical artificial kidney was built during World War II by the Dutch doctor Willem Kolff.

The first successful dialysis treatment. In fall 1945, Willem Kolff, of the Netherlands, made the breakthrough that had stubbornly eluded Haas.

2021年1月1日 · Dr. Willem Kolff invented the first working dialysis machine. The first dialysis machine had a rotating drum, with wooden slats. The wooden slats were covered by a semipermeable membrane and rotated down into the fluid-filled tank of dialysate. The patient’s blood ran through the inside of the semipermeable membrane.
