Dear Friends,
Can eny body shed some light on how kidney transpalnt would be successfull with stem cells. How far stem cell research has evolved in medical world. Do you think that stem cell treatment will available with in next decade?
Please respond, this is important to me very much!
Treatment for Chronic Renal Failure and Developments of Stem Cell Research?
We are no where near developing functioning kidney from stem cell. CRF is managed by dialysis and transplant. I understand there is wait for getting the transplant and it is often difficult to have match when you are from minor ethnicity.
Nonetheless, the outcomes of kidney transplant are much better now then ever. Next 10 years are very very unlikely to see stem cell based therapy for CRF.
Only FDA approved stem cell therapy at present is treatment of blood/marrow cancer. Parkinsonism is next one in line to be approved.
