Can Nephrogenix do anything for me now?
The research and development into cellular therapies for renal disease being performed by the Renal Regeneration Consortium is currently very early stage. With the rate of chronic kidney disease increasing by 6-8% per annum, there is a great need for alternative treatment options to be developed. However, there are currently only two treatment options for patient with end stage renal disease – dialysis and transplantation. In the long term, we hope to be able to repair or completely regenerate damaged kidneys using stem cells.
