At age 69, five years ago I was diagnosed with AKF. I was on dialysis for three years and worked very hard with lifestyle and other changes to come off -- without a transplant. I DID come off in October of 2016 after three years (extremely rare). I came off with a GFR of 13 and up until recently, it has hovered around 17. I recently had a medical event that caused my GFR to fall again. I'm hoping it is temporary. I've corrected the underlying problem. I need to improve my GFR and am always looking for ways to do that. I have seen many posts and comments regarding stem cell therapy and the progress being made with that technology. Mayo is at the forefront of some of this research and I believe it may even be in the clinic there. I tried to post links to several Mayo experts but was blocked by your platform. Dr. Stephen Textor has focused on this as have others at Mayo. I want to learn more and determine if a visit to Mayo might be productive. I have other links for Mayo if you are interested. Thanks.
