Not in its current form.  But give it 10 or 15 years and it will be shrunk to a better size.  (And/or there will be innovation that changes the components - right now it looks like a standard size filter!)

Transplant July 2017 from out of state deceased donor, waited three weeks the creatine to fall into expected range, dialysis December 2013 - July 2017.

Well on dialysis I traveled a lot and posted about international trips in the Dialysis: Traveling Tips and Stories section.
