[...] promising, stem cell therapies for renal failure don’t appear to be a real solution anytime soon. Same goes for growing kidneys from scratch. [...]

My son has a supposedly incurable kidney condition known as DDD (dense deposit disease) He was treated with SCXT (stem cell xeno transplantation) and is now regenerating new kidney tissue as a result. His is an auto immune disorder whereby the kidney is being attacked by its own immune system. This treatment fixes the auto immune disorder first which then allows the kidneys to recover and then regenerate. Pluripotent fully differentiated progenitor mesenchymal cells are indeed used but so are 8 other fetal stem cells (not embryonic) harvested from different parts of a series of rabbit fetuses raised for this specific purpose. No, he doesn’t just eat raw vegetables and hop around a lot…although that’s probably not such a bad thing either!

Any remedy for familial multiple polycystic kidney disease – so far creatinine clearance is within normal limits past 15 years . Will stem cell therapy help rid the multiple cysts and revert the kidneys back to normal without any danger of damage or kidney failure . The only complainr at the moment is the big bulge of the abdomen with 6 to 7 cysts on one kidney and 3 to 4 cysts on the other ( each the size of 50- to 70 mm and new ones cropping up from time to time )
